Officials are said to be in a "panic" about a Whitehall report calling for two new garden cities in southern England, according to senior Liberal Democrats.
Prime Minister David Cameron has been accused of suppressing the report which could see new settlements containing tens of thousands of homes built in Buckinghamshire, Warwickshire or Oxfordshire, according to the Telegraph.
Mr Cameron has been accused of a “Nimby attitude” because he fears a a backlash in Tory heartlands ahead of the general election.
Earlier this week, the proposal was described deputy prime minister Nick Clegg as a “prospectus” for future developments.
