  As one caller to a phone in last night put it, "when is the penny going to drop that we cannot just keep urbanizing the rural areas?"
  
  The English fetish for suburbs consistently overlooks the fact that they come at the cost of countryside, lost until the weeds of doomsday reclaim it.
  
  Walk around Dover and you will see plenty of spots for brownfield development. It is preposterous to let greedy, lazy developers build on prime agricultural land when opportunities to revive Dover town and provide extra housing at the same time are being overlooked. How about a bit of imagination!?
  
  If the figures are really just wishful thinking and window dressing to get grants, I'll forgive, and I won't tell.
