I SEE a planning application is being considered to allow a farm building to be converted into four homes (online: Neighbours object to housing plan for Herefordshire farm, October 12).

The people of Cradley and Storridge have objections to this going ahead and a meeting is being called. Great news, democracy at its best. My view is that the UK needs all the farmland and buildings it has.
We must get our farming industry together, growing our main foods to ensure the UK is never dependent on imported food. Let’s get the red tape out the way and allow our farming industry to get back on its feet.

Letters should not exceed 250 words and local issues take precedence.
By growing local and selling local our environment footprint will be even lower than it is now. Farmland should never be sold for development our future young farmers will need to supply our food needs.
No farming, no food. It’s that simple. Farmlands must be kept for farming.
