Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 31 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Housing and Regeneration Bill.
Housing and Regeneration Bill
On the sustainability of sites, which the Minister has referred to a number of times, I am concerned about the rigid obsession with greenfield versus brownfield sites. Quite often, brownfield sites obviously present an opportunity in some inner urban areas not only for housing but for improving living conditions and everyone's quality of life by creating a new open space in an area that does not have any. Will the agency be flexible enough to recognise the possibility of improving people's lives in densely built-up urban areas by not necessarily developing every last inch of a brownfield site?
