Essential that proper account is taken of which areas remain a precious oasis of tranquillity. Their loss would be tragic and irreversible. Counties closer to London should sound a warning that the relentless pressure for change, if mismanaged, can erode, initially imperceptibly, the essential qualities of such areas, until they are lost forever.

The absolute rate of growth and its management should be approached correctly. That may involve a more sophisticated approach to the balance of development than is found in the present area strategies.
