Why is the Green Belt so Important?
Why is the Green Belt so important? "The answer to our housing crises does not lie in tearing up the Green Belt. Barely 13 percent of this country is covered by such a designation but it serves a valuable and very specific purpose. Green Belts exist not to preserve landscapes but to prevent urban sprawl. That is what they were created for in the 1950s and that is the valuable purpose they still serve today". - The Prime Minister, The Rt.Hon.Theresa May, MP
