Infill Development

EDM number 486 in 2005-06, proposed by Caroline Spelman on 04/07/2005.

That this House notes the growing public concern over the damaging effect of inappropriate infill development on the character of local neighbourhoods; believes the Deputy Prime Minister's revision of Planning Policy Guidance 3 has resulted in poorly designed blocks of flats being crammed into suburban communities and the destruction of green spaces such as back gardens; and calls on the Government to revise planning guidance to give councils a greater say on local development, to deliver higher quality and design in new build, and to allow communities to protect the character of residential neighbourhoods.

This motion has been signed by a total of 37 MPs.
