	Description:		Last week, the government announced new plans to scrap water pollution restrictions for housing developments in order to build new homes - some farmers warn that the government is undercutting its own environmental schemes. The Government consultation on proposals to allow the conversion of barns and disused shops into houses without the need for planning permission ends later this month - it is considering extending these changes into the National Parks, which have had long held protections against such developments. And all this week we look at growing herbs in the UK. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Rhiannon Fitz-Gerald.
