What exactly is a "neighourhood group"? How do you get elected to one? Is there a requirement to submit proper "applications" plans to the "group" for consent? What criteria can be used to grant or refuse consent? Presumably there is some kind of upper limit to the size of extension, maybe like permitted development now - so who checks this? The chances of a modern design gaining approval are slim, "groups" willl doubtless tend to like the twee. As for these "neighbourhood development orders", what are the chances of a "group" including sewage works, waste plants, factories etc in them - nobody wants them near them but we all need them, and they won't count as "nationally important".
As for the archaeology....... we can forget it.
