Mr Pickles
The hon. Lady needs to look at the matter carefully. Exactly those kinds of people are housed in the private rented sector.
Stephen Phillips (Sleaford and North Hykeham) (Con)
My right hon. Friend will know that there appears to be a growing desire on the part of developers to carpet rural Lincolnshire with wind turbines, most recently at Temple Hill in my constituency. What advice can he give those of my constituents who for very good reasons properly oppose the siting of these turbines in their local communities?
Kris Hopkins
Although I cannot comment on individual cases, we have put regulations before the House today which demand that developers speak to local communities. Also, as I have said before, communities should make sure that their local council has a robust local plan.
