Like every villager, I am aghast at the plans to build over greenbelt wherever speculators can lay their hands on land. A total free for all, with the rules applied to individuals dispensed with eg ecology, infrastructure, trees.
And all for what...
The interests of residents are clearly not of interest to those elected to serve them. Who cares that I & my neighbours will be tens of thousands of pounds poorer & trapped in unsaleable houses? Living 10 yards from a building site? (Where a field used to be) . Surely this should be taken into account? It seems not. But Not in your Backyard!
Once the country is turned into a vast housing estate, there can be no turning back. The extra cost of converting old housing & brownfield sites would pay in the long run.
I am sure my voice is not alone.
