SIR – I would like to thank Anne Hawkesworth for telling the true story about brownfield and greenfield building (T&A letters September 29).
It was indeed the Tories who changed the planning rules and introduced a “Developer’s Charter”.
The Tories were aided and abetted in this by the Liberal Democrats.
We now have a situation where the Tories and the Liberal Democrats are blaming a Labour council for having to deal with their own legislation.
I am sure that the communities affected by this legislation, like Cote Farm, Simpson’s Green and developments in Apperley Bridge would like to question Jeanette Sunderland as to how she can face both ways at once.
