Campaign For The Protection Of Rural England And The Kennet Floodplain

EDM number 2126 in 2007-08, proposed by Martin Salter on 21/07/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Housing and Planning.

That this House welcomes the announcement by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government not to designate the Kennet Meadows south west of Reading within the South East Plan as a strategic development area; notes the strong representations from the Environment Agency, local councillors, and residents regarding the serious risk of flooding should the functional flood plain of the river Kennet be developed; applauds the recent campaign against the inclusion of the Kennet Meadows in the South East Plan; condemns the Campaign for the Protection of Rural England's (CPRE) for attempting to allocate a major housing development on the Kennet floodplain at the Examination in Public; and calls upon the CPRE to explain why it is prepared to countenance the destruction of an important wildlife site and put thousands of homes in the Reading area at risk of flooding.

This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
