Rural Development
Charlotte Smith joins former NFU President, Sir Peter Kendall, on his farm in Bedfordshire to discuss rural development. She's also joined by a property consultant.
From motorways to business parks, from new homes to new railway lines: development in rural areas is often controversial.
Charlotte Smith travels to a farm in Bedfordshire, right in the middle of the proposed Oxford-Cambridge Arc of development to explore the challenges and opportunities. She's joined by the landowner, former NFU President Sir Peter Kendall, and property consultant Brian Buckingham.
We also hear about a range of other rural planning disputes from across the UK.
