Oxshott: the significance of the Clouds Hill planning decision #GreyBelt
What I got mostly from this meeting is the government classification of grey belt which muddies the waters into Green belt. Makes it easier for building companies to snatch farmland for housing. It’s a scandal.
Our villages are the targets.

Previously rejected plans for 1400 homes on 83 hectares of #GreenBelt in Tring, Hertfordshire, have been resubmitted. The developer claims it is #greybelt and @DacorumBC has reversed its previous opposition including the site in its new #LocalPlan...

Allowing developers to build on the grey belt is one of the biggest changes implemented by #Labour.
Chris Hemmings of carter Jonas asks: do the changes really open up opportunity?

🏗️ Labour’s ‘grey belt’ reforms aim to unlock neglected green belt land for housing. Investors: think streamlined planning, high-demand sites, and sustainable projects near cities. Here are 4 investment trends to look at for in Q2, 2025 - tinyurl.com/3xktpmzh

"The government's idea of re-designating areas as " #greybelt" land in its bid to build more homes is "largely redundant", a House of Lords committee has said." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Salisbury, Wiltshire. Urbanisation at its best? Nobody minds this, do they?
What, though, about our newer neighbourhoods? Replacing good countryside? Meeting a genuine need?
I want your stories of the good, bad - and the ugly #housingcrisis #countryside #greenbelt #greybelt #greenfield #design
Undoubtedly #GreenBelt, but would probably meet the definition of #GreyBelt. However, currently probably poor public transport, unless a new @chilternrailway.bsky.social station could be opened at the northern end; perhaps combined with some Grey Belt development on former #HS2 construction sites?
A detailed and inviting depiction of a sustainable community on grey belt land. The scene features small, eco-friendly homes made of cob and wood surrounded by regenerative farming plots with diverse crops. People gather under a rustic wooden shelter for a community workshop, set amidst lush greenery, wildflowers, and trees, promoting a sense of harmony with nature.
Here’s a draft letter you could send to your MP, proposing a sustainable use for grey belt land. This approach tackles climate change, housing shortages, and food security.
Would you make any changes or have any comments?

Morning all! Just FYI, I'll be on BBC R4 #Today at 8.10am this morning, to discuss #nature, #planning, #brownbelt, #greybelt, #greenbelt and #wildbelt
Am sure I read somewhere it's more profitable for housing developers to build new than to renovate existing homes.
Action on Empty Home estimate 700K empty homes with 250K+ long term empty. Not including holiday cottages & 2nd homes empty for many weeks of year.

Starmer will destroy the Green Belt, simply inventing the name Grey Belt (supported by the media) to get round regulations. #GreyBelt www.dumptheguardian.com/society/article/2024/sep...

#Ukraine now has a #GreyBelt so large it's visible from space. It's what happens when bad things destroy huge swathes of farmland.
Some of our pre election research has featured in KentOnline.

We've got something in the pipeline to build on this research, watch this space.

Green Belt serves five purposes: a) to check the unrestricted sprawl of large built-up areas; b) to prevent neighbouring towns merging into one another; c) to assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment; d) to preserve the setting and special character of historic towns; and e) to assist in urban regeneration, by encouraging the recycling of derelict and other urban land.
A little PSA for those who weren't forced to learn this verbatim for their first year planning exams
(occasionally the phrase "to check the unrestricted sprawl..." will spring into my mind unbidden, like a fragment of Wordsworth or Shakespeare)
