			<description><![CDATA[ Today&#39;s news suggests that there is uncertainty in government departments about the need for the millions of new houses in the south-east of England that
John Prescott was banging on about when he was Deputy Prime Minister.
<br>
<br>
His plan was obviously to relieve the pressure on house prices in particular and the housing market in general.

Well we got that one sorted, didn&#39;t we!

			<description><![CDATA[ This is good news as far as it goes and I trust that MP Caroline Spelman&#39;s Bill is successful. In the early 1900s, when land was comparatively cheap, good
sized gardens were provided for most new homes. The problem now arises that by combining the gardens from adjacent houses a substantial increase in density is
possible.

<br>
<br>
<strong>The Royal Borough is challenging the government to give all local authorities the power to protect gardens from building development.</strong>
<br>
<br>
Following a motion by Cllr Derek Wilson at the recent council meeting, councillors agreed unanimously to demand action from the government to enable local
authorities to veto applications to build houses and flats on green gardens.
<br>
<br>
Cllr Wilson described as &quot;disgraceful&quot; the current... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ No mention here of the lunatic situation whereby gardens continue to be classed as &#39;brown field&#39; when considered for development. In the good old days
it was difficult for back gardens to be developed. The concept was known as &#39;in-filling&#39; and was not normally supported by planning committees. How is
Teresa May MP getting on with her campaign to change their classification in this respect?

Also, with the money market &#39;tight&#39; to say the least, much development... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ 07/05/2008
<br>
<br>
The Royal Borough is appealing to landowners, developers and residents to identify sites that could potentially be suitable for housing - and thereby reduce
the risk of Green Belt land being given over to development.
<br>
<br>
Any suggested site will be assessed on its individual merits and not all sites will be considered appropriate.
<br>
<br>
It is a government requirement that all local planning authorities undertake a strategic housing land availability assessment... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The above post is worrying to say the least.  The concept of Green Belt is that it should be sacrosanct.
