The green belt discussion has focused on what it blocked rather than what it delivered. The countryside around our towns and cities plays a vital role in putting food on our plates.
Building on the so-called grey belt will not provide the genuinely affordable and social rented homes that people in this country need.
The government is maintaining the existing strong protection for the best and most versatile agricultural land - the land which is most important for food production.
Our vision is for a better planning system that will unlock the housing and infrastructure this country urgently needs while improving outcomes for nature.
