Would be awkward for trades.
I know, but that's part of the problem.
When I were a lad, tradespeople lived in the community they worked in. Now, for a great many reasons, they all live in Kent.
One of these reasons is the existence and popularity of the Transit van. Witness at A2 on any given morning.
Ultimately, if we're serious about saving the planet, we need to redically change the way we organise our lives, and commuting vast distances so you can live in a tudorbeathen village has to end.

Would be awkward for trades. I live in Barnet and any builder/roofer/plumber/etc lives in Hertfordshire and drives in.
We just need road pricing, that makes people think a bit harder before driving half a mile to pick up a newspaper.
