You can rant all you like RV but nothing will change. I understand what you are saying, but my point being is that one of the parish councils meetings that I went to seemed to more about my post below and not the environment.
I have seem considerably more than 2% in our area red-hornet. Planning has been put forward for 5000 new homes near West Grinstead. This is in addition to the total destruction of rural area area Horsham, which no doubt join up with Crawley at some stage. Then we have Dunsfold, which is not that far away from me.
If your already in Kev, I'd stay put. Not sure about buying more at the mo, as LC is still calling the shots, and that man is useless on all fronts apart from taking his remuneration which is something he is very good at.
