The Government needs to encourage development and building on brownfield sites.

Instead, they are approving applications for massive energy installations on greenfield sites.

Good farmland shouldn't be taken out of agricultural use and be redeveloped for energy.

I rasied this today with the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities, and Local Government. You can watch the clip of my question here.

The Government should encourage people to build on brownfield sites rather than approving energy installations on good agricultural greenfield land. pic.twitter.com/f93jPLB438
