Look at those here. I state a fact that only 7.5% of the UK is settled and 5% of that is parks and gardens and they still do not believe it because they think 60%, or some other silly figure, of the UK built on. Well the Daily Mail and Telegraph said so, so it must be right. They still continually spout about urban sprawl. At 7.5%, we haven't even tinged the countryside.

...so called facts (read up).

Can you tell us then what the total breakdown of land useage is including unusable moorlands, highlands, coastal margins, parks, gardens, developed areas, underdeveloped areas, redundant areas, agricultural areas, the remains of our forested heritage, national parks, industrial areas, flood plains, defence establishments, infrastucture take, airports, ports and finally inhabited areas and provide us with references to the source and methodology and then we will have an idea of how much we can rely on what you say and make our own assessment of whether enough land is given over to the population?

For sure, this city is empty and it would be an irresponsible waste to build further out into the country because you've got a grudge against the landed gentry.



If you think that will create slums, Liverpool has almost exactly half the density of Inner London. Don't see many slums there, but no doubt you know better.
