I attended the public consultation locally for the East Pye proposal close to me, where I uncovered the surprising statistic, hidden away at the back of binder 10 out of 13, that the total land area in the best and most versatile categories represented 86% of the entire proposal. A further 12% represented the productive land grade 3b and only a negligible 3% represented the poorest categories. I drew attention to that calculation and the developer’s representative was surly and dismissive. It was only when I declared my interest as a Member of your Lordships’ House that a change of tone was divined.
