by Stephen McIntyre » 24 Feb 2006, 13:08
I'm bothered but I'm not challenging it. Let's get on with the discussion in a neighbourly manner.

This recent letter from Councillor Ricky Henderson in the EN may be of interest to bbbrown and others who doubt the Council's committment to green space. It also contains other information pertinent to the proposal under discussion:

But the land proposed for the golf-course is greenbelt.
However valuable greenbelt land is in other ways, commercially it's cheap as chips.
Ugly industrial brown-fields, however unlovely, are commercially far more valuable.
You're not comparing like with like. And you're ignoring the whole funding issue.
Say you don't buy the golf-course and decide to build on the brown-field site. Even accepting that the cost of site accquisition is equal to that of the greenbelt land, there's still a £35 million plus black hole in your finances.
How do you finance the schools?
