Like the residents of Burton Joyce and Stoke Bardolph, I want to ensure that our beautiful green spaces surrounding Gedling are protected from housing. It is also important that any new housing is built on brownfield sites and the design of new houses match the surroundings.
At Housing, Communities and Local Government Questions yesterday, I urged the Housing Secretary, Robert Jenrick MP, to protect the green spaces surrounding Gedling and asked him to confirm that the Government’s planning reforms will ensure that local people will be empowered to decide on the shape of their community.
I am pleased that the Housing Secretary has confirmed that the Government’s proposed planning reforms will do just that.
