Hands off our back gardens!

Liberal Democrats fight to protect our green spaces
The Government's current planning policies treat back gardens as "brownfield sites", which means they are vulnerable to infill development.
"Liberal Democrats believe back gardens serve an important social and environmental purpose," says Oliver Brooks.
"The Liberal Democrats published a Bill in Parliament calling on the Government to protect back gardens and parkland from over-development.
"These local green spaces should be treated as the important "greenfield" sites they really are - not like old industrial sites as the Conservative and Labour Governments have labelled them. "As a local councillor for this area I will fight to protect our area from over-development, especially by property developers keen to make a quick profit while local residents suffer.
"The local council's policies should stop developers buying houses and gardens and then submitting plans for many more houses to be built on the site."
