Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 November 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

Moving to brownfield sites, I hear what the Minister said about the importance of making those, in her words, the “first port of call” for development, as well as what she said about agreeing a minimum intensification of sites. She knows that I have raised in this House using sites to their full potential, because that protects other land, particularly green-belt land, from developers eyeing it up as their next area for building, so I was really pleased with that. I understand what the Minister said about strategic development schemes, because we cannot be too specific at that level, which is basically what she was saying.
