David Seymour says he's opposing planning changes in Auckland in his role as local MP, rather than his role as Act Party Leader. 

Seymour's opposing a move to allow more intensification near transport corridors. 

The Deputy Prime Minister and MP for Epsom told a public meeting that supporters must impress on Housing Minister Chris Bishop that the plan is not necessary. 

Seymour told Mike Hosking he's representing the views of his Epsom electorate constituents. 

He says his job is to ensure Epsom, Mt Eden, Newmarket, Parnell, and Remuera have their interests advocated for.
