With only about 7.5% of the land settled,
7.5%? Where did you get that figure from?
I'd like to know that as well. Seems a bit high to me.
Do farms not count as settled?
In this context, only the part with the farmhouse on it.
Why? Settled land means that thats lived on. That doesn't just mean
the house it means all land under the same deeds. Otherwise you can't
count gardens
as settled land either.
As I wrote, then only 2.5 % of the UK is under masonry.
Its not how much is physically buried under concrete that matters - its how
much is used. And there is VERY little land in the UK that isn't used. Even
the hills are used for sheep farming. And don't give me that "we can spare
some agricultural land" crap. We can't. We're reliant enough on food imports
as it is.
