We call on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to allow every owner-occupier of a plot of up to 1 acre in area the unrestricted freedom to build or extend accommodation for themselves or family members, without any requirement that they seek planning permission, a building warrant, or other authorisation.
Let us refuse to bow down to the unproductive interests of the bankers who lend money at interest and to the interests of unnecessary and self-perpetuating bureaucracy.
Let a thousand house styles bloom.
Unleash the creativity which is in us all.
Let us consign to the dustbin of history the need to borrow large sums and pay large amounts of money in interest just to be able to avoid paying large amounts of money in rent.
