It seems to me that we are paying the price for years of uncontrolled immigration. The green belt needs to be protected at all times. Agricultural land should never be compromised, as it provides us with food and security. The need for more housing is greater than ever, so we should be thinking of building up rather than spreading out, as that makes more sense. We should also consider the welfare of our animals as their habitats will be lost. I have no further comments, but fear the worst, if green belt is going to be used for housing.
