I completely agree, and we should have treated it like they do in Edinburgh, nothing outside the greenbelt except for farms.
The greenbelt should extend to Carp road in the West, Trim in the East and Mitch Owens in the South. That would have given alot of redevelopment and intesification within the greenbelt and would likely have resulted in a Subway and much better Transit to everything everywhere. A huge increase in walkability as well.
We really dropped the ball on that.
