Controversial planning decisions on Menston housing developments are expected to be debated in Parliament tomorrow.

Shipley MP Philip Davies, whose constituency includes Menston and Burley-in-Wharfedale, has secured a debate in the House of Commons about planning issues.

The Conservative MP says he plans to raise his concerns about the way Bradford Council dealt with planning applications for large housing developments on land off Bingley Road and Derry Lane.

He plans to highlight the extent to which the views of the people of Menston were taken into account, and a “lack of expertise” when dealing with concerns about flooding.

Mr Davies said yesterday: “It is only a 30-minute debate, and I get half of that, so I won’t be able to raise everything, but will pick out some of the most salient points.”
