Green belt bid causes anxiety (From Daily Echo)

I don't think there's a picture of Osborne in the world that doesn't make him look evil.

Is this the same Tory guy whose leader used to suggest something on the lines of Green Conservatism?

Same old Tories, they will never change.

Trust the Tories and live to regret.

Good bye green belts. RIP

Just listen to the country toffs, we can all just sleep on the street in the cities.

If Jersey in the Channel Islands can protect it's country side, then there is no excuse for the UK.

An island 7miles by 9miles roughly with a population of 90000 +.

Once the countryside has gone it is gone forever.

I am not a country toff either.

There are a lot of built up areas crying out for redevelopment. Leaving run down blocks of ugly buildings intact brings an area down.

First time buyers get a much harder time of it in Jersey and local people are not rich. Someone has to work in the shops, clean the toilets etc.

The rich are in a minority, although there are a lot of rich people per sq mile.

Please don't spoil Hampshire.

...And if they had voted for more protection you'd say something like "Typical tories protecting all their toff friends in the countryside so they can preserve their views and stop working class people from having houses"
Your biassed and twisted views are predictable, unintelligent and worthless.

New container port on the waterside Yeah!

Exactly Loosehead. That is what this is all about - stopping spurious irrelevant exaggerated objections holding up sensible development. A totally different scenario to this totally fictitious assault on the countryside invented by Paramjit and others on this thread.

I can't believe people on the Waterside say they're stopping Southampton from stealing their waterfront?
This area is called Dibden Bay what Bay? the Port of Southampton reclaimed that years ago for the sole purpose of dock related use yet their Solicitors didn't tell them this when they moved into their new homes which were built on forest land?

Hear hear.
Instead of continually using brownfield sites for yet more business premises (or, worse, leaving them as barren sites), which just bring more people into the area, use those sites for affordable housing, especially as the sites are usually in town or city centres so close to facilities without the need for cars or costly public transport. That would also benefit single people or young couples wanting to get onto the property ladder.
Leave our green fields alone - what's being planned by Eastleigh Borough Council, for example, is abhorrent.
This government seems hell bent on becoming the most unpopular government ever and it's about time a petition was started to get them out of power early! They have no idea what the population wants and doesn't want; they're just hell bent on listening to their own "types" in high-level businesses whilst ignoring the general population.
Worse is that the Liberals, who used to represent local communities here very well, are just going along with all this and becoming just as bad. Not one of our local councillors is listening to what we are saying or asking and we never see them locally either now.
I was all for the Liberals, and the coalition, based on the pre election campaigns and immediately after election but now I'm totally against all 3 major parties and wont be voting for any of them in future.

Don't vote green Poppy. What you get is a complete mess of innacurate scare stories and absurd unworkable pinky politics. Remember there is the brownest field site of all right in the middle of SOuthamptons industrial heartland and yet the greens led the most factually innacurate campaign against it Britain has ever seen.

You seem like quite a clued up person in your own funny little way but unfortunately you're let down a bit by your complete gullibility.

If we were short of countryside i could understand the objections but in the grand scheme of things only a very small proportion of the country is built on and we are desperate for more homes and there just isn't enough land in our towns and cities so we have no option but to build on greenfield sites. If successive governments had not encouraged so much immigration then we would not have this problem or a lot of others that immigration has caused, immigrants have largely taken over our major cities and the true inhabitants of those cities have moved out in search of a better quality of life which is one of the reasons the south coast has become so popular (a victim of its own success you might say) people do not want to live in cities, they want to live within easy reach of those cities but not in them, which is one reason why we have so many people objecting to more development because they bought their houses on the periphery in the belief that there would be no further development and now they fear being enveloped by new housing. There needs to be drastic changes in the way we house ourselves the whole concept of the so called property ladder needs scrapping, for far to long houses have been treated as an investment instead of being a home and this has pushed house prices to unsustainable levels. So we need rental housing at realistic rents and a price crash on existing property that can be brought about by over supply of new property, people always say my house is worth this or that when the truth of the matter is that until you have made that final payment you do not own the house its just another form of renting and a house is only worth what somebody is prepared to pay for it which is why house prices are dropping, this is one of the few countries in the world that look down on renting as a way of life and that is perpetuated by the myth that house prices always go up (or do they).
