Are planning guidelines just more of the same?

THE lifting of restrictions on once-off housing in rural areas may prove to be just more of the same.

I was left thinking where have I seen this before. Check your county development plan to find the answer.

Having read the guidelines, I can see the same anxieties for people who want to build on the family holding. Sterilisation clauses, ribbon development, skyline, etc the litany of restrictions is endless.
