The government planners came up with four options for concreting over East Anglia (oops, I mean building sustainable communities for the future). I was at the Regional Assembly in July when we debated these options, and voted to put them out for public consultation. It is called the "regional spatial strategy".If people express a view that they prefer the option of building some, but not lots, of houses, then it makes it more difficult for developers who happen to be in possession of a big plot of land and want to persuade the planners to let them build a big town on it.
It follows that people who want to express a view on the regional spatial strategy options have until the end of this month to go here
I met up recently with Andrew Lansley, our MP, who spearheaded the fight against Hanley Grange, and we reminded ourselves that the campaign last summer to stop Tesco building HG was a GOOD THING
