New government data shows that despite promising signs of
an increase in brownfield development, greenfield land is still being lost to
housing development at an unnecessary rate. The amount of farmland, forests,
gardens and greenfield land lost to housing development each year has increased
by 58% over the past 4 years, according to an analysis by the Campaign to
Protect Rural England (CPRE). CPRE’s analysis of an annual report highlighting
changes in land use, published by the Ministry for Housing, Communities and
Local Government on 31 May, shows that the area of ‘non-previously developed
land’ lost to housing annually has been steadily rising, from 2,105 hectares of
land in 2013, to 3,332 hectares of land in 2017. Read more on the CPRE website.
