Brownfield First Approach For New Housing (No. 2)
EDM number 2034 in 2005-06, proposed by Michael Gove on 25/04/2006.
That this House expresses concern that the Government's proposed changes to planning policy for housing (draft PPS3) would, if implemented unchanged, encourage unsustainable patterns of development; believes this would undermine the regeneration of urban brownfield sites before building on green fields, yet do little to address the acute problem of affordable housing need; and calls on the Government to amend its proposed revised policy to retain a strong emphasis on urban renewal, while protecting green spaces and to focus on tackling the inaccessibility of affordable, eco-friendly housing for first-time buyers and those on low or modest incomes.
This motion has been signed by a total of 69 MPs.
