Caroline Voaden

Liberal Democrat — South Devon

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 June 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

I have tabled new clause 65, which would require housing development applications to include provision for green space within 15 minutes of new homes, supporting nature and helping people to lead happier, healthier lives. Does my hon. Friend agree that the Government have missed an opportunity to require new housing developments to be designed in a way that would be not only good for nature and the environment, but good for the health and wellbeing of residents?
