We object to planning on all of these green belt sites when there are plenty of brown field sites across the Midlands. By building in these areas it puts increased pressure on existing infrastructure including road networks, schools, doctors and dental surgery and other adjacent green spaces. It is also a policy which is counterintuitive to a greener future which protects echo systems and green spaces. The argument that house building, creates new jobs is not in dispute, however building on brown field sites would create an equal number of jobs, if note more. The only argument for building on green belt is by property developers keeping costs low and profits high.
