Would it not be more prudent to release small infill plots within the Green Belt which in reality are scrubland and have no other use other than housing, rather than releasing large areas of open countryside which is the real Green Belt we should be protecting.

If you were to look at the amount of "infill" plots that are available for development within village locations, then surely this would help achieve the figures set out by the government before releasing large areas of our real Green Belt Land.
