Stop taking land from the Green Belt.

Full text:

I don't think there should be further incursions into the Green Belt as proposed here. The new sites on Wort's Causeway have already taken Green Belt land and they don't look as if they are going to be at all sustainable, as promised, because there seem to be no safe or convenient walking or cycling access through to Queen Edith's schools, doctors or shops. The Biomedical Campus has grown massively in recent years and yet we are told further expansion is necessary even though the original expansion has caused big traffic problems. Green Belt growth may be cheap for developers but comes at environmental cost - brownfield sites should always be given priority.
