Green belt development considered by BCP Council in a bid to build new homes

Green belt land in Throop and Holdenhurst has been put forward by developers FURTHER green belt development is being considered by BCP Council in a bid to build thousands of new homes. Even with a forecast of increased housing density and building heights in urban areas, the council predicts it will have a shortfall of 5,500 homes against the government-set target. As a result, it has agreed that every green belt site put forward by developers be included in its Local Plan consultation this summer. Councillor Mike Brooke, who heads up the working group overseeing the planning blueprint, said “at this stage, this is the only way forward”.
