An interesting front page article on a report by Natural England and comment column in today's Independent
"There is also a strong message here for ministers, as they step up the pressure for the creation of a host of 'eco-towns'. There is a case social for new developments to ease the chronic shortage of housing supply in the south of the country. But these towns must be truly environmentally-friendly. Any developer who has lazily dusted off an old proposal for a dormitory town while lazily adding on a few token 'environmental' features, must be given short shrift. Any hint of 'greenwash' must be rejected. These communities need to be truly sustainable and sensitive to the surrounding natural environment."
