Respondent: Mr Malcolm Howell
Use of Green belt has got to be the absolute last resort, it is an offence to nature. Yes " in line with national guidance " but that isn't the issue, Build on Brown belt, reclaim old factories, railway lines, knock down poorly built housing and rebuild lovely 4/5 storey apartments. There must be many alternatives to Green belt. Once you build on Green belt its gone for ever, covered in tarmac and concrete, its criminal. You can't hide behind the words " National guidlines". It's your childrens green belt too.
