    David Cameron accused of being a 'Nimby' over garden cities plan

    Lib Dems say PM deliberately suppressed a plan which could see development in a Conservative heartland

    David Cameron has been accused of being a "Nimby" and deliberately suppressing a plan which could see garden cities built in a Conservative heartland.

    The Whitehall document recommends the construction of two garden cities with tens of thousands of homes being built but the report, written more than a year ago, has yet to be published.

    Senior Liberal Democrats accused the Prime Minister, whose Witney constituency is in Oxfordshire, of suppressing the report and, according to the Daily Telegraph, of taking a "Nimby attitude".

    Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister, has already identified Buckinghamshire, Warwickshire and Oxfordshire as areas where new homes could be built but the Conservatives are said to fear such a development would bring Labour voters into a Tory stronghold.

    The Whitehall report calls for the developments to be modelled on the original garden city projects at Letchworth and Welwyn in Hertfordshire
