Accelerating housing development in a Green Belt is a no go as far as I am concerned. Green Belts preserve farmland, control runoff and help recharge aquifers that support wells and stream sources.
Ditto for Conservation Areas which in addition are designed to prevent flooding by limiting impervious areas (streets, sidewalks and roads.
Aggregate mining is very disruptive of ground water and any new pits have to be carefully assessed.
In general cutting regulations to increase housing when much of it will be estate style single family in the Greenbelt and the Conservation authorities is reprehensible. Your government is turning back to clock to a time when space considered limitless and there was no environmental and little planning awareness. Slashing regulations is never good planning.
