Proceeding contribution from Christopher Chope (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 17 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill 2005-06.
As amended in the Standing Committee, further considered.
That is absolutely right; it is the dilemma that I am hoping the majority of Members of the House will agree should be resolved in favour of localism. I should like to illustrate that point by referring to the recently published document ““Built to Last””, which was produced by my right hon. Friend the Leader of the Opposition. That document, which I shall not quote extensively, sets out ““Our aims”” as follows:"““To improve the quality of life for everyone through . . . a dynamic economy . . . a strong society" and"““a sustainable environment where we enhance the beauty of our surroundings and protect the future of our planet.””" We will not enhance the beauty of our surroundings if we allow monstrosities otherwise known as microgenerating plants to proliferate in our residential neighbourhoods without the need for individual planning consent.
