Proceeding contribution from Martin Horwood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 November 2007. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Local Government and Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Debate on the Address.


Local Government and Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

Does my hon. Friend agree that the flipside of that is that communities should be able to refuse more housing where that is less appropriate? My community, for instance, is accepting up to 8,500 new houses but draws the line at 10,000, 12,000, 14,000 or more, which would push development into the green belt, and developers are currently eyeing up the Cotswolds area of outstanding natural beauty.
