Proceeding contribution from Caroline Spelman (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.


Planning Bill

To pick up on the point made by the hon. Member for Richmond Park (Susan Kramer), should not the review closely examine whether the Government's failure to define gardens correctly as gardens, rather than as brownfield land, has thwarted their endeavour to ensure that a significant percentage of the new homes that are being built are affordable? As she has pointed out, the failure to define gardens correctly has thwarted the Government in their own objective, and that should form part of the review.
