Planning

Birmingham Friends of the Earth work extensively on planning issues in and around Birmingham, and a current major piece of planning work we are working on is Birmingham's Big City Plan.

  • The Problem: Poor planning can have disastrous effects on our environment and communities. Poor planning that is short-sighted and takes into account only the requirements of big business, and leaves the needs of wildlife, people, and the planet aside can have disastrous consequences on the environment and communties, both short-term and long-term.
  • The Solution: Sustainable planning can deliver positive changes for us and our environment. Sustainable planning that is well thought-through, takes account of wider environmental and social issues, and actively engages the public, can deliver positive changes in our environment and communities.
  • Take Action: We are always looking for new volunteers to help us prepare responses to new plans within the city, and extensively research the pro's and cons of any such plans.

For more information, head to the Planning section on our main website, where you will find the latest news stories and campaigns.
