I am concerned at the intention to build or allow planning permission on ' so called' "Brown Field Sites". The definition and its investigation that is the concern. Where site has been heavily used as Factories or Garden Centers, there is perhaps a good reason to develop "Tasteful Housing", although modern "Land Cramming Builds" does put even that thought into question. Where land has been used for Farming, Agriculture, Orchards or Grazing, 'Borrowing the Landscape', then a return to Nature is the preferred route, to sustain Wildlife at the very minimum or to re-introduce species as an ideal or just to maintain natural feature balance, minimum. A local attempt to develop has almost endangered Newt and Bat species, but the fight will continue.
