I deplore the assault upon the greenbelt which is now underway. I object in the strongest terms about the loss of our fields when brownfield land should be developed first. Of course, private developers do not want to reclaim brownfield land. It is too expensive, but the public interest should count more than private profit. Twice in the last 100 years we have faces campaigns by an enemy intent on starving us and yet now we are building on our farmland. Madness!
May I also make the point that the sandhills development of which I particularly object, will choke our schools, roads, doctors, etc, etc. When I attended shire oak school there were about 1000 pupils at the school, today it has twice that number and yet you propose building hundreds of houses near to the school. Where will the young people form those homes go to be educated, to the already over-subscribed shire oak and other similar schools? We are destroying our environment with these wanton developments, ruining it for everybody, do not build these houses!
