Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 October 2025
Debate
Planning and Infrastructure BillContribution
The noble Baroness, Lady Hodgson, made some comments about green-belt policy; I believe she said we have lost 600 hectares of green-belt land between 2024 and 2025 as a result of six local plans. The green belt continues to protect around 12.5% of England from inappropriate development. None of the six local plans that released green-belt land was examined under the revised 2024 National Planning Policy Framework, which is implementing our green-belt reforms. I hope that is helpful.
