The green belt should be considered for new housing, the
Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) has said. In a policy statement, the RTPI
said the government’s upcoming Housing White Paper needs a “fresh approach” to
direct where new housing should be located. The statement said: “Green belt
boundaries may well need to change, but only after a careful review over wider
areas than single local authorities, where safeguards are put in place to
ensure development is sustainable, affordable and delivered in a timely manner,
and without prejudice to the renewal of brownfield land”. Download the policy
statement from the RTPI website.
