To take working arable farmland,when we already import far too much grain and associated items from abroad,is really not an option.Brownfield sites need to be used up before we start to allow farmers to sell off their land for profit.They chose to farm,if they want to retire then sell that farm on to someone who wants to continue to provide food for our population.Services are already stretched in Pulham St Mary and enlarging or replacing the doctors' surgery and school will take time,and land to expand onto,so there's no quick fix.
