"88% of homes granted permission by the government on grey belt land will actually be built on previously untouched countryside, including farmland and wildlife sites
13 grey belt developments have been approved on green belt land
The policy was introduced in December last year. Since then, 13 developments (consisting of 10 or more homes) have been approved by inspectors on the basis of being on grey belt land, in the green belt. Local councils had no say in this.
These developments represent around 1,250 homes, but 88% of these will be built on undeveloped green belt land."
And who will be GIVEN the homes?
