National Trust blasted by Tory MP Greg Clark over Green Belt protection fears | Mail Online

The National Trust has become locked in a war of words with a planning minister over the charity's 'risible' claims that Green Belt land will be threatened by Coalition planning reforms.

Conservative MP Greg Clark accused the charity of 'nihilistic selfishness' after the trust dared to voice concerns over 'damaging development in undesignated countryside'.

The planning minister branded the National Trust's claims as 'unfounded' in arguing that new houses are needed to solve the housebuilding 'crisis' and help young people onto the property ladder.
