Housing must take priority over nature, says Starmer in green belt reform plan
Briefly

"Starmer said he wanted to get the balance right with nature and the environment but that a human being wanting to have a house had to be top priority."
"The updated national planning policy framework (NPPF) commits to a brownfield first strategy, with disused sites that have already been developed in the past prioritised for new building."
"Councils will therefore also be ordered to review their green belt boundaries to meet targets by identifying lower quality grey belt land that could be built on."
