Eco-towns debate

consensus forms around "sustainable urban extensions" or eco-burbs, "mistake to focus only on freestanding new development"
eco-towns now "triggers of substantial economic growth"
plan to abandon zero-carbon (level 6) target for housing sustainability a "farce"
eco-town timetable completely impractical: "a lorry of building material every 20 seconds for the next 10 years"
Lembit Opik to run his personal aircraft on biofuel, Pennbury eco-town would stop him flying to see his Mum
Caroline Flint to visit in July or August
