Labour has said it will review the restrictive planning rules on green belt to allow more houses to be built.
There are 1,638,420 hectares of green belt in England, about 12.6% of the country’s land area, according to Government figures.
It wraps around 16 of England’s towns and cities including London, Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool, with some critics arguing that it favours wealthy people living in countryside towns while preventing the expansion of much-needed housing stock. This makes up 34,770 hectares, which means it is the city with the highest proportion of its land as green belt, with the average cost of rent having hit a new record this year of £2,627 per month – 12.1% higher than last year according to Rightmove.
