I am opposed to the proposal to remove lands from the Greenbelt. I see no justification in the proposal as to why intensification of existing built up areas and development of designated greenfield areas cannot meet the proposed housing demand of 50,000 homes. There is also no evidence about the quality of land that is proposed to be swapped for the removed lands compared to the quality of those removed lands. How much of the removed land is agricultural system (by type), natural system (by type) and settlement areas and how does that compare to what is being added? For example, swapping prime agricultural land for settlements does not seem appropriate.
