Gideon Amos

Vikki Slade

Tim Farron

That this House, while agreeing that the need to build homes and infrastructure and enact significant reforms to the planning system after years of neglect under the previous Government is acute, declines to give a Second Reading to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill because it maintains the overly centralised, developer-led approach championed by the previous Government which has failed to deliver the community transport, environmental, health and other infrastructure necessary to unlock the homes the country needs, undermines the independence of local government, deprives communities of their stake in development, fails to resource local planning departments adequately and alleviate supply chain pressures including shortages in workers, skills and materials, will not secure the 150,000 social homes per year that are needed, fails to ensure new homes will be zero carbon or fitted with rooftop solar panels, fails to adequately integrate nature and climate in planning; and therefore will not result in the ambitious delivery of infrastructure and housing the country needs.
