BPF response to Labour's plans for green/grey belt building

Melanie Leech, Chief Executive of the British Property Federation, said: “Labour rightly identifies the potential of ‘Grey Belt’ land to deliver new homes. This is one of a raft of planning reforms that are needed to boost housing supply, many of which are in our manifesto, ‘Building our Future’ . A lot of Green Belt land is actually very poor quality but perversely has good transport links, and it should be brought to life to provide new homes, jobs and community facilities.

“The UK desperately needs more homes and modern critical infrastructure to make the country more productive and sustainable, and today’s announcement is one of many steps needed to get us there.”
