Daily Telegraph: "Ministers pushing for reforms blocked building in their own constituencies"

Link to Daily Telegraph

"Conservative ministers pushing through controversial plans to relax Britain's planning laws are facing accusations of 'breathtaking hypocrisy' after it emerged that they had tried to block developments in their own constituencies.

"Greg Clark, the planning minister who is leading the reforms, fought the previous government's attempts to increase the number of homes in his Tunbridge Wells constituency, warning that the development would place 'yet more pressure on our precious green spaces', an investigation found.

"Grant Shapps, the housing minister, has also opposed plans for thousands of new houses in his Welwyn Hatfield constituency."
