'Environmental Vandalism'
Campaigners in the West Midlands claim that a huge rise in house building in the West midland countryside is a threat to green belt land claiming it 'environmental vanalism'.
The government predicts that over the next 25 years 50% more land than previously planned will be allocated to building. However, Shropshire and Herefordshire councils feel they will be unable to meet the predicted figures without 'serious damage to the countryside and market towns'. Fears from The Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) are that the region is the latest battleground over housing development between government and local councils.
