I'm afraid the land banking issue is a convenient and lazy excuse for the failure of the planning system to provide houses where people want to live. Take the recent Black Country Plan for example - conducted entirely according to the guidelines set by government it recommended judicious green belt release in several sites. Cue every single local politician suddenly clutching their pearls over scrubby fields everywhere. It's pathetic and Andy Street is by far the worst culprit locally.

To get to net zero we first need to get dirty in order to produce the necessary infrastructure. That is a simple fact.
