Fuck the green belt, it's decent housing that's needed.It's an odd one as there is a very credible argument that the greenbelt helps keep house prices high for those who own in Surrey etc. and that is why people who live there are keen to keep it, after all an extra 30,000 houses in Dorking would smash the fuck out of existing house values.
The counter argument of course is that Dorking is 45 minutes from the centre of London and from there you can walk up Box Hill, Leith Hill, Denbies, Ranmore etc. Basically you have some stunning countryside that is easily accessible to even the poorest in London and this should be protected.
I go with the second. But with a vested interest in the first.
They need to whack a new supertown on some of that land around Box Hill.
