YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe shadow housing secretary says Labour is unfairly targeting rural areas for housing development.
Kevin Hollinrake said the Tories are "not against building more homes" but they oppose "bulldozing green belt sites".
"We'll see many of these homes delivered in rural areas, yet a lowering of targets in urban areas, particularly London," he said, which he argued is not "fair".
"I'm not saying no green belt can ever be built on it," he continued. "It's just making sure it is fair, and the green belt is used where it's absolutely necessary.
"But that's not what we're seeing in these plans."
Labour wants to be build 370,000 new homes each year before the next election.
Councils will have 12 weeks to provide a building roadmap or have a plan forced upon them.
