Background
2200 housing units are proposed to be built in Bromley and Hayes on green built land in the centre of the borough. Central government are intending to remove the local council planning department from the decision making process by use of existing and proposed new laws. Local democracy requires our councillors to be accountable to the electorate for both the built environment and our natural environment. The Bromley and Hayes green belt project will set a precedent for all London Boroughs.
