An article in The Spectator about the new Eco Towns proposed by this government and which are mainly to be built in non-Labour voting constituencies as part of the three million new homes by 2026 rush.

Ross Clark writes much better than I can and covers the history of a site in Cambridgeshire previously turned down for development because it was a green field site with poor public transport links. This has now re-emerged as a potential Eco development.
In his article Ross asks why a site previously rejected on environmental grounds can suddenly become eco friendly and comments that the current planning process doesn’t owe a lot to democracy. I couldn’t agree more.
