The scale of the greenbelt proposals cannot be justified. (eg Bearley and Henley) What 'exceptional circumstances' would support forcing inappropriate expansion on rural villages. Priority should be using brown/greyfield sites; should target development of land banked land particularly when not developed, an additional tax could be levied on land purchased and not built on. Living above the shop, converting unused commercial/office/retail property to become homes makes sense within existing communities.
Farmland will be lost; wildlife undermined/destroyed forever/inevitable increased flooding risk. Infrastructure swamped; Increased traffic will overwhelm local areas and cause gridlock to neighbouring towns.
