Concrete Jungle?

Green Belt land which protects fields and open space around towns and cities should be "abolished", a think tank has urged.
The call for an end to the tough planning rules that for decades have saved the countryside around towns and cities, came from the Policy Exchange in a study on the effects of the planning system on the UK economy.
They conclude in this report, that the main objective of planning has been to limit the spatial extent of cities and that this artificial reduction of land supply has severe consequences for society, the environment and the economy.
Since Labour came to power their policy seems to have been to turn the countryside into a concrete jungle. The end of the Green Belt would mean the destruction of our countryside and an environmental disaster.
