Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 November 2026

Debate

Homes and Planning Bill

Contribution

It is great to hear about the good work that my hon. Friend’s council is doing through its local plan. I have two local planning authorities in my constituency, Labour-run Peterborough and Lib Dem-run Huntingdonshire. In Labour-run Peterborough, the new affordable housing requirements in the emerging local plan specify that 30% of homes must be affordable housing, of which 30% needs to be for social rent. Will my hon. Friend join me in calling on Huntingdonshire, under the Liberal Democrats, to do something similar? Right now, its affordable housing requirements do not set aside anything for social rent.
