Proceeding contribution from Barry Sheerman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on National Planning Policy Framework.


National Planning Policy Framework

Are we going to be consistent? All hon. Members want genuine, positive neighbourhood engagement in planning, but the trouble is that historically, too often, such engagement has been dressed up nimbyism. The worst case of dressed up nimbyism that I know of concerns Conservative councillors on Kirklees council in Huddersfield, who switch and swap all over the place only for political advantage, not for the good of the community or good planning.
