Today I spoke in the Second Reading of the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill, which includes some welcome reforms on planning - including the strengthening of local plans and empowering local people in decisions, rather than the Planning Inspector.
Housing targets are not included within the Bill, however I used the debate to raise with the Minister the need for Green Belt land to be taken into consideration when such targets are set. Sevenoaks is 93% Green Belt, and I will continue to campaign so that it is protected.
