Good morning @Keir_Starmer the land you describe in @Telegraph forms part of Swanscombe Peninsula SSSI an amazing wildlife site with over 1700 species. It offers a green lung to an already built up congested area. Please do not try to devalue an SSSI.

"Out of almost 40 new housing developments we looked at ..nearly every one was oriented around the car. We only identified one large-scale greenfield development in Poundbury in Dorset, which we considered to be a vibrant ‘self-contained’ community."

National and local government in the U.K. owns 7,555 hectares of surface car parks. That's enough land to build 2.1 million low-cost homes...

..where people would not have to finance car ownership

..& which don't add to global warming and air pollution

We’ve raised an incredible £11,162 so far, thank you! But there’s still time to double your impact and help us transform parks across London. Every donation helps create greener and more connected communities.
