To the Minister of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
The expansion of permitted development rights - essentially allowing developers to convert offices and other commercial buildings with limited checks has led to very poor quality - and in some cases virtually uninhabitable - homes.
The new proposed planning laws further risk low quality housing by "pre-approving" standard designs every 8 years, without further oversight by local councils and residents.
COVID-19 is an illness which can affect your lungs and airways. It's caused by a coronavirus. There are confirmed cases across the UK and it has been confirmed as a pandemic by the World Health Organisation - that means it's spreading in multiple countries at the same time.

A big thank you to everyone in Harborough, Oadby and Wigston who voted for Zuffar Haq on Thursday. Our amazing team of volunteers fought a positive campaign & over 9,000 residents voted Liberal Democrat here, up by over quarter on last time.
The Liberal Democrats won the backing of an extra 1.3 million voters across the country compared to 2017 - the biggest increase by far for any party.
