Building on greenbelt only if all options exhausted eg: brown/grey sites/empty properties/above shops etc. Sustainable development must be close to existing infrastructure that can be reallistically expanded.
''Commuter Newtowns' on greenbelt means historic/rural villages absorbed into uban sprawl; road connections/infrastructure overwhelmed; irreversible environmental impact; valuable heritage buildings risk damage from increased vehicle vibration eg Henley-in-Arden/Mary Ardens House and Farm = negative for tourism.
If 'Right-to-buy' isn't rescinded affordable properties will be swiftly purchased and removed as public resource.
Moving vulnerable people into rural areas without facilities/services/resources risks isolation; few employment options/inadequate transport links increases car dependency, encouraging 'rat-runs' through villages.
