I am concerned that the responses from developers and landowners should be viewed with some suspicion as both have a vested interest in the use of 'greenfield' areas. Developers are interested in gaining access to large areas of land that can be developed as cheaply as possible, without having to undertake remedial work, and on which they can make a significant profit. Landowners on the other hand will see an opportunity to sell land for large amounts of money. Neither view is likely to take much account of local needs, concerns or problems.
