[QUOTE="Pilatus, post: 8070854, member: 381"] I quite agree,and it annoys me when people who live in newish houses built on green field sites oppose development plans for yet more new houses that their children may wish to buy. Certainly development will carry on as we are such a densely populated island . It is just hard coming to terms with it happening. Being a hypocrite if I had any development land I would have no qualms about selling it ,especially if adjoining a present housing estate, as to farm next door to housing estates must sometimes be hell. Sell up and move to a nice farm away from houses, that fact that I sold land for houses to buy it would be just my good fortune. As an industrialist told me, “unfortunately it’s not a fair world”. It’s the last bit of my thread that irritates me , Packham,Monbiot and other environmentalists giving agriculture so much flack for destroying the countryside but rarely yet not giving developers a REALLY hard time who are REALLY destroying the rural/ countryside environment. :mad: I make no apologies for repetition.
