‘The moment has come’: pro-building Labour yimbys are set to raise the roof

Proponents of more homes, turbines and infrastructure - even on the green belt - prepare for rally at party conference

• Fewer than one in five UK voters are hard nimbys', finds survey

On the Sunday night of Labour conference, one rally is expected to attract the biggest crowd of the season. Its theme is a subject which was once deemed one of the most difficult in politics - yimbyism.

Yimby stands for yes in my back yard" - a play on the traditional nimbys, who have been a dominant force in British politics where planning has been one of the thorniest battlefields. It is a campaign for more housebuilding, more turbines, more infrastructure, even on once-sacred spaces such as the green belt.
