It says: "For decades our planning system has protected much loved places from harmful development. The Government's reforms turn this on its head, using it as a tool primarily to promote economic growth instead.
"Despite news that the Government has offered to talk through the proposed changes to the planning system, we’re not convinced they’re listening.
"The Government’s planning reforms could lead to unchecked and damaging development in the undesignated countryside on a scale not seen since the 1930s.
