§ Mr. CousinsTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if draft PPG3 contains a presumption against approval of large suburban housing estates, predominantly of high-priced housing. [109297]
§ Ms Beverley HughesThe consultation draft of PPG3 states that any substantial new development should be planned as a community with mixed land uses, including adequate shops and services. It also advises that local planning authorities should adopt policies to secure an appropriate mix of dwelling size, type and affordability in new developments to meet the changing composition of households in their areas. The final version of PPG3 will be issued shortly.
