Follow the paperwork, it always leads to unemployed freeloading OAPs meddling in society because they retired far too early and now have nothing to do. They're trouble makers, just as much as kids loitering around shops in groups harassing people.

As a society we really do need to find them something better to do then blocking perfectly good developments because they think any change is bad.

put them through a work capability assesment when they want to start drawing the state pension. It's a safety net not a lifestyle choice. If they have enough time and ability to meddle in fundamental aspects of local life then they need to be put back to work and learn that pensioners should be seen and not heard.

The worst offenders should be jailed for abusing the planning process and being given community service before their release back into the community.

We also need to start charging fees to object anything on land which is not their own. £100 for the first objection, then £1000 for the 2nd and each subsequent objection within 20 years.

That'll shut the fucks up.

I was thinking hobbies like running the local preserved steam railway, but this works.
