Motion text

That this House expresses its deep concern over the South West Regional Spatial Strategy; is concerned that the local employment, infrastructure, public services and transport networks needed to support this number of homes is not adequately planned for; fears this imbalance will create soulless dormitories with unsustainable levels of commuting; observes that the Secretary of State has altered the latest draft of the Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) to allow building on green belts; believes that any decisions over house building in the South West should be made by elected local authorities; and urges the Secretary of State to abandon the RSS entirely.
