This link takes you to Margaret Beckett's fascinating speech about "Why the bits between the buildings matter".
I happen to thinlk the bits between Ford, Clymping, Yapton and Arundel are pretty important - they matter a lot to me in terms of their beauty, amenity value, their agricultural value, because they allecviate flood risk along the coast and Arun valley, and because this is the only coastal plain "GAP" between Newhaven and the New Forest.
She want's to dump an eco-town there - on this majority greenfield site - only thejn to make it 40% green space (after years fo building upheaval and desecration).
It's a no brainer Margaret - No eco town here please!

If the Eco towns are going to be 40% Green Space, and are built on land that is - even on their dodgy figures - 70% Green Space, then even my mathematics tell me that a hell of a lot of greenery is going to get trashed!
Nothing to be proud of their, Margaret!
"Their" - Grammar, Dixon!
