SIR - Why all the concern about the application for the building of 15 homes on the field behind Barton Orchard in Tipton St John.

If those on either side of the argument had watched the recent Countryfile programme on BBC1, they would have heard the Prime Minister, when challenged on the subject, state very clearly that he will not allow building to take place on land designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
