Arnolds Field is officially greenbelt land, but under the surface there is nothing green about it.

Sevenoaks councillor Julia Thornton said it was a "top priority" to protect greenbelt land, but added: "We will have a duty to do everything possible to meet the government's new housing targets."

However, Scottish ministers overruled the decision, saying the benefits of the £37.5m plan would "outweigh" the loss of greenbelt land.

Labour has pledged to "bulldoze" through planning rules and build on the greenbelt to deliver 1.5 million homes during the five years of the next Parliament, if it wins power.

That isn’t the case all the time of course — there have been temporary tents in the greenbelts, and scattered car-camping on some blocks.
