• New Infrastructure Planning Commission fails to give people a proper say on major projects, FoE, October 1 Friends of the Earth remains deeply concerned that under the Planning Act 2008, decisions will be made by unelected Commissioners (October 1 marks the first day of the Infrastructure Planning Commission) who are unaccountable to the public - making it increasingly difficult for ordinary people to engage in local decision-making.
