At a time when people are being made aware of the need to preserve and conserve all things green, the number of homeless in British cities is reaching a new record. As agriculture surpluses increase and the need to restructure the rural economy becomes more apparent the debate on whether to maintain rural housing in villages is becoming one of the most pressing and emotive of social issues. With the widening of this debate, government policy and the present "gentrification" of the British countryside are also brought into question. In "Housebuilding in the Britian's Countryside" he addresses both sides of this debate in depth. He also examines the effects of government policy - the winners and losers - and the reshaping of the rural economy and character. This book intends to provide an analytic perspective in a debate that is becoming increasingly emotional. The book opens with a lucid introduction laying out the framework and the policies that shape the subject and forming a background from which to probe into the deeper issues.
