It’s vital that we protect our gardens and green spaces from unscrupulous developers. They are the lungs of the city and have an essential role in dealing with rainwater.
But the London Plan, the planning bible for the capital, counts back gardens as ‘brownfield’ land and this makes them a soft a target for developers with hardly a day going by without a new planning application coming in. This is why we have opposed the proposals in the Plan for so long with huge public support.
I’m pleased to see that London’s new Mayor has offered his support to the local Lib Dem’s “Hands Off Our Back Gardens” campaign. We will be making sure that he sticks to his pledge.

I think, of all the ludicrous ideas I have seen and heard in my "political career", the back garden fiasco is probably the most ridiculous and abysmal. An exemplorary example of the mental vacuum that is our government
