MP’s And Central Bedfordshire Council Meet With Sajid Javid To Discuss Housing Policy
The Leader of Central Bedfordshire Council, Councillor James Jamieson and Bedfordshire MPs met with Sajid Javid, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, last week to discuss Government proposals for increased housing.
The Department for Communities and Local Government launched a consultation called “Planning for the right homes in the right places” which would see a 60% increase on the number of homes that would need to be built in Central Bedfordshire.
Hot on the heels of submitting the Council’s formal response to the consultation the Leader of the Council has met with Sajid Javid along with MPs Nadine Dorries and Andrew Selous to discuss the proposals.
Council Leader James Jamieson said, “We are really concerned that the proposed new housing numbers are currently unrealistic and undeliverable. If the Government are serious about increasing house building they need to do more to help councils hold developers to account to deliver this growth, otherwise it simply won’t happen.
“Equally as important to us is that growth is sustainable; that means homes are built alongside the services, jobs and road and rail infrastructure. Development should not be to the detriment of existing communities and to ensure this we need investment in critical infrastructure up front.”
“The meeting was a great opportunity to explain how the Government’s proposals would affect our community and how the Government can help us ensure growth is well managed and sustainable.”
