Environmental campaigners including celebrity wildlife champion Chris Packham have urged the government to abandon its plans to build on the green belt

The Community Planning Alliance (CPA), which represents grassroots action groups across the UK, has published a report setting out an alternative vision of housebuilding.

It comes after prime minister Keir Starmer last week recommitted to Labour’s election manifesto pledge of building 1.5 million homes this parliament.

Later today the government will spell out its much-trailed reforms designed to achieve this aim. These include asking councils to earmark sites for housing within the so-called ‘grey belt’ – less useful or environmentally friendly sections of urban development buffers.
