Housing in all the Wrong Places

West Midlands Countryside warning about Government proposals

West Midlands Countryside Campaigners warn that the Government shake-up of planning would lead to houses being built in all the wrong places. The proposals would dramatically change how many houses a local area was required to take.

This could lead to huge increases in house building in rural areas and on the Green Belt. There would be little protection for local nature areas, as the definition of the so-called ‘grey’ belt does not include them.
