There is insufficient housing stock now. The councils proposal to slow down new builds, and also not address the type of housing required does not appear to meet the needs of residents satisfactorily as it stands at present.
The current approach seems to be to have as many flats as possible densely packed together with minimal parking provision, and little other types of accommodation such as bungalows.

Will the council be taking a more reasonable approach to planning on the green belt designated areas now?
I think it is sensible if land is in a 'green belt zone' but it is not suitable for agricultural use (i.e it was formally used for industrial purposes rendering it unsuitable for agriculture, or its location or size makes it un-commercial to farm etc.) then it should be considered for say low density housing. This will increase the housing stock, prevent scrub/waste land being formed, reduce the pressure to build on quality farm land, and reduce the need to have so much high density housing built.
