Diolch. Last Sunday, all Members of the Senedd received an e-mail from a Flintshire resident whose complaint against Flintshire council regarding a development in Flintshire had been upheld by the ombudsman for Wales, but who stated that there needs to be an inquiry into the approval of this development, with the officers involved being held to account. I've received several similar complaints regarding approved developments in Flintshire.

How do you therefore respond to another Flintshire resident who said that county hall planning departments often struggle to defend existing green barrier demarcations when faced with demands from large scale speculative estate developers—[Inaudible.]—of yet more swathes of of easy-to-build private houses on our precious fields and countryside? As we stand to lose yet more of our finite green barrier land, what measures can the Minister put in place that will urgently mandate that Welsh planning policy will affirm the robust conservation of all existing open spaces and defined green barriers?
