The houses in these eco-towns need to meet lower requirements than other houses? Hmm, what exactly is this really about?

Campaigners from many of the 15 sites in England earmarked for "eco-towns" are to voice their opposition by staging a protest outside Parliament.

The groups, which include local authorities and pressure groups, will then hand in their response to the first round of public consultation.
