Housing: Construction
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps she is taking to ensure that open spaces and the green belt are protected during house building.

The National Planning Policy Framework sets out the government’s policies for safeguarding the Green Belt from inappropriate development.
The Framework also allows local areas to identify local green space which is protected in a similar manner to the Green Belt.
