A quote, from the Campaign to Protect Rural England: ‘The way housing targets are currently being set is fundamentally flawed and serving no one. Driven by aspiration rather than local need, housing targets are over-inflated and undeliverable.’ (24.4.17). ‘When numbers are all that matters, anything, anywhere, will do’. (Ptolemy Dean, 4.7.17).
