Representation Summary:

IL1/H to IL4/H

Can’t keep expanding what were once small towns, to build new, cheaply built, not eco-friendly homes, by destroying Green Belt land.

Everyone knows how serious climate change is and yet turn a blind eye in these scenarios. How can you justify building new homes which are not eco-friendly and do not have solar panels etc, built in? How can you justify destroying green land which will be the environment for birds and foxes etc to build more uniform, crass housing?

Will never be enough affordable housing. Solution is not to keep building. More systemic issue about relative prices of houses to salaries and cost of living. Won’t be affordable housing as they will be over-priced.

These kinds of decisions to destroy the environment and think short-sightedly for profit only disadvantage us all in the long-term.
