Conservative — Keighley and Ilkley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 December 2024

Debate

Responsibilities of Housing Developers

Contribution

As Members of Parliament, I often think that our role is to be both problem solvers and place makers. That is why today’s debate has been so important. I thank hon. Members for their contributions. The common themes have been obvious: early consultation is really important, as well as addressing the challenges around multiple developments and their cumulative impact on wider communities. We also talked about section 106 and community ownership moneys and the importance of the quality of build when it comes to place making. It is right that we get the right homes built in the right locations, designed around the need that has been identified. We have been joined by the farmers protesting outside Parliament, whose noise has been coming into the Chamber. The hon. Member for York Outer (Mr Charters) rightly said that he welcomed the John Deere orchestra. I only hope that all Government Members are listening to the reasons why those farmers are here today.
