This is the cry of people fighting against the building of new homes in the countryside. I think they are wrong.
I live in a City. Over the last five years lots of green areas have been built on. I went to Surrey at the weekend and they have lots of green spaces in between houses as well as proximity to green belt space. It felt leafy and green. In my City with all the odd bits of green spaces being built on, the City feels more and more concrete like.
There has to be a limit to building in cities. If you build on every green space except small parks serving enormous populations, then you make cities very unpleasant places to live. Why should places like Surrey live in far greener surroundings with access to large green spaces, and yet call for ever more building in Cities?
We need to build on these green spaces as well and in pretty ordinary fields to expand villages. You can't keep your view and expect those in cities to be left with virtually no access to any green space.
AIBU?
