Affordable housing is really important in Buckinghamshire as it is such an expensive area to live. Fairhive, formerly Vale of Aylesbury Housing Trust, is a key provider of social homes, with about 8,500 houses in our local area.
Local people rightly want to have a say on local planning decisions, especially when many new houses are being built - as in Aylesbury. I asked Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick to confirm that MHCLG will listen, and ensure we also get the infrastructure we need.
