On this, we crunched the numbers on what the Green Belt is made up of, based on our own (urban) form and function classification (urbangrammarai.xyz/story/). Results (+ code) over at:
urbangrammarai.xyz/green_belts_...
The gist is there are different "shades of green", some of them not very green.
@annaclarke.bsky.socialLots of discussion on greenbelt today ahead of new #NPPF.
- Greenbelt covers 12.6% of England, compared with just 1.3% used for housing (6.2% if you include gardens)
- There's no greenbelt in the south west or East Anglia (beyond Cambridge).
