Petition In the event of planning disputes the default answer to new development should not be 'yes'.
More details
The government has published new planning advice to councils, the National Planning Policy Framework, telling them to make provision for more development and give more permission for new developments.
And they've also been told that in the event of disputes the default answer to new development will be 'yes'.
Campaign groups say that will mean thousands of new homes will now be built in the East - many on green field sites.
