Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Bob Seely (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 November 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill.

I am so delighted that my hon. Friend is making that point, because it is pretty much central to so much of what we want to see. We are accused of being nimbys and of saying no, no, no to everything, but we have a dozen-plus amendments because we want to find solutions for the Government. We loathe the top-down targets because they are fantastically un-Conservative, but we are desperate to try to find a way to change the balance between brownfield and greenfield development. Does he agree that if we can get that change in dynamic, we can fire up a development boom in this country? We could avoid so many of the stresses about greenfield development by focusing much more on brownfield.
