PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
BROWNFIELD FIRST APPROACH FOR NEW HOUSING (No. 2) (24 April 2006)

Motion Details

That this House expresses concern that the Government's proposed changes to planning policy for housing (draft PPS3) would, if implemented unchanged, encourage unsustainable patterns of development; believes this would undermine the regeneration of urban brownfield sites before building on green fields, yet do little to address the acute problem of affordable housing need; and calls on the Government to amend its proposed revised policy to retain a strong emphasis on urban renewal, while protecting green spaces and to focus on tackling the inaccessibility of affordable, eco-friendly housing for first-time buyers and those on low or modest incomes.
