A bit of a dramatic post. Were you aware that 93% of the UK is urban, that means not built on by houses, factories roads etc. So you should be able to find a green field, there is a lot of them about. I hope not.

And at what point will enough be enough? It seems your philosophy has no limits on population growth. His response highlights his stupidity and why I don't engage with him directly any more. In fact I can recall him raising this pathetic retort on a previous occasion when I pointed out that the majority of the UK geology makes it frankly absolutely impossible to urbanise - mountains, coast, ancient woodland, bogs, marsh, remote islands etc etc. The remainder could feasibly be built on (and most of it is already) but the green belt is there to protect it from development and to ensure we have land to grow foodstuffs and an environment to promote wildlife. I won't waste anymore time trying to educate him quite frankly.

The problem with planning is that it is usually obsolete by the time it gets around to being realised, especially when one of the factors, namely population, keeps increasing by 300,000 rising, every year.

Geological and geographical if you could seperate it. I'd look it up myself, but apparently I'm 'thick'. Edited by nickgusset (05 Feb 2017 11.51pm)

The information is out there, in various formats, but I'm not prepared to go to the effort (again) of providing the information just for him to ignore it and revert back to his stance of 2 years ago.

If you assert something but don't back it up it makes one wonder....
