CONGRESSMAN J. Kenneth Robinson says that “land use planning decisions should be made as close as possible to the people immediately affected and with the active participation of those people.” “In other words, I prefer local planning to state planning, and state planning to federal planning, ’ ’ he said, in Richmond October 9, adding that he had opposed federal land policy legislation in Congress in the conviction that its initial form of assistance to states and localities would be followed by regulatory “guidelines” to control. land decisions by the states and individual communities. In remarks prepared for a dinner meeting of the First Virginia Conference on Local Environmental Management (John Marshall Hotel), the 7th District Representative emphasized that he was not suggesting that the local land use planning effort should be “undertaken in isolation.” ;
“It should have the benefit of the experiences —good or bad—of other communities,” he said; “it should have recourse to information on innovative approaches; it should take into account the impact of local decisions on adjacent communities.”
