As a question for discussion, or to satisfy my curiousity as to what others think, do UK planning laws (ie restrictions) distort property prices, increase the rich / poor divide, prevent people from having as much choice over their home and family environment as they could (restriction of human right..), rightfully protect the interests of community over those of an individual, stifle creative architecture to stop people building houses that they actually want, prevent the renewal l of out of date housing stock with more environmentally friendly homes, inadvertantly restrict society and hence contribute to social engineering...There are all sorts of directions this could be addressed from. Thank you for your help.

Here is an interesting link for you on the clash between the Human Rights legislation and planning as we have hitherto known it. http://www.buildingconservation.com/articles/humanrights/humanrights.htm
I hope it is not too divergent from your discussion topic.

I agree with your point of view: this would make a great thesis for an essay!
