Lord Dykes

asked Her Majesty’s Government:

What response they will send to the United Kingdom Federation of Master Builders concerning its statement of 1 July objecting to the plan for separate new eco-towns. [HL4623]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Communities and Local Government
(Baroness Andrews)

The Government received a submission from the United Kingdom Federation of Master Builders in response to the consultation paper, Eco-towns: Living a greener future. This stage of the consultation considered potential locations of eco-towns and how they might be delivered. The consultation closed on 30 June, and the Government will provide a statement on the responses received in due course. We will draw on these responses to inform the second stage of consultation on the draft sustainability appraisal and draft planning policy statement.
