The Coalition\’s planning reforms are biased in favour of developers and create an “inevitable” risk of more development on the greenest parts of England, a cross-party group of MPs has warned.
Green? It\’s grass you morons. Not something that needs the power of government to protect it.
What is this, people have to go live in the butt ugly \”brown\” parts of the country just so the rich can look out over rolling acres?
“Not something that needs the power of government to protect it.”
Well, not unless you want to live in the crowded, polluted environment of ‘Blade Runner’, anyway. Give me the rolling acres of grass rather than more people any day!
Julia has a point.
Grass > People.
I believe your headline answers your last paragraph.
“…people have to go live in the butt ugly “brown” parts of the country just so the rich can look out over rolling acres…”
That was the point of Green Belt legislation, really.
The green belt is not usually green. It can include brown stuff and sometimes black stuff. It can also be fully built up. It’s just a belt of land labelled “do not develop” and called green so that the public think it’s a good thing. When in actuall fact it’s more like a fence keeping everything squashed and hemmed in.

I’ve been to Green Belt areas. They look pretty green to me.
