Green and pleasant land of limited resources
I learnt at my grammar school that land was a finite resource – one can't make any more of it, and its use has to be carefully thought out.
If it is covered with housing, it can't be used for agriculture, and such development brings disadvantages such as water deprivation, increased pollution by sewage and waste, and other anti-social effects.

We can only hope that commonsense prevails.
