75,000 homes to be built on England's Green Belt - Telegraph

Research by the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) has revealed local authorities which are attempting to redraw the boundaries of Green Belts in their areas to make way for new housing.

Analysis of local development plans drawn up by councils have revealed that swathes of land will be "redesignated" to allow the development of more than 74,500 new houses.

Protected Green Belt land will also reassigned to make way for new business parks, university buildings and transport infrastructure.
