Restrict or expand development on the greenbelt to address the UK's housing shortage? That is the question 🏘️
With a growing population and soaring house prices, millions are being priced out of affordable homes; house prices have risen by 65% in the last decade alone 📈
Some argue that building on the UK's greenbelt land, which covers around 12.4% of England, could provide a solution, whilst also generating jobs 🏗️
However, others argue that safeguarding these areas is more crucial than ever, protecting our wildlife, ecosystems and long-term environmental resilience 🌳
It's a question of balancing immediate needs with sustainable solutions ⚖️
Should we rethink our planning policies to address housing shortages? Or should we maintain our commitment to protecting greenbelt land and prioritise brownfield sites?
