Britain’s planning system is a monumental act of national self-sabotage, exhibit #4729. A big new data centre (which the country really needs) right next to a huge motorway is refused permission because “the buildings would be visible from the bridges across the motorway”
This is absolutely deranged. UK government refuses planning permission for a data centre despite recognising an "urgent need" for it partly because it thinks *being right next to the M25* has negligible impact on green belt amenity value

Excellent editorial about #businessrates reform by @samanthamcclary tinyurl.com/5a5pfxs3. It is noteworthy though that none of the main trade groups have called for its abolition, but reform to ensure a fair #businessrates system fit for the current age. They have been ignored
