Planning Daily reports that Fiona Howie, head of planning and regions for CPRE, said:
"With a population that is expected to continue to grow we have to use land more efficiently."
"We need to build more homes, especially affordable housing, but we also need to devote space on our densely populated island to producing food and energy, while still allowing people to access and enjoy open and unspoilt countryside.
"Planning for housing is fraught with uncertainties. Current projections fail to take adequate account of wider considerations, such as changing economic conditions and the effect these can have on migration levels."
