I would agree - I heard the tail end of a debate with a very reasonable sounding environmental person on Today this morning (making valid points about ensuring that any development is consistent with the surrounding environment in the most holistic sense of the word) and a rather stereo-typical politician who seemed hellbent on extolling the virtues of localism because of the experience of his village.
I was not at all placated by the definition of a small development as less than 10 houses.
I think I heard this would apply to green belt land as well......
