Thousands Of Homes Could Be Built On the ‘Green Belt’

Rachel Reeves has said that Labour could alter planning rules to allow hundreds of thousands of vital homes to be built on the ‘Green Belt.

The shadow chancellor said the party would look at reclassifying protected land as ‘brownfield’ sites ripe for development under a ‘common sense approach’ if elected.

It comes as all the main parties face pressure to increase stuttering housebuilding rates amid skyrocketing prices and rental rates.

In an interview with a newspaper outlet, Ms Reeves said that a brownfield first approach was right, but that they also needed to look again at what was designated green and brown, and that no one has anything to fear from this.

The Tories are divided between shire Tories who are against development and pro-housing MPs who argue the party must do more to attract younger voters.

At its conference last week, Lib Dem members forced the leadership to keep annual housebuilding targets in its manifesto.

Deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner last night said the party would seek to bring an end to ‘land banking’ and give local authorities powers to build council and social housing where needed.

Asked about concerns over possible building on the green belt, she told BBC Breakfast that there was a lot of land that’s already identified and has got planning to develop but the developers aren’t developing it, so they will push to make sure that happens.

She added that it wasn’t because they didn’t have the land, the land had been identified, but they had this situation where there was land banking, where developers were not building.

She said that they will ensure that they do build and they will give local authorities powers to build council housing and social housing where they need it.

Of course, this new housing won’t be for all the British people who were born in the United Kingdom, it will be for all those illegal immigrants our government allow to stay.

The problem is that with new housing comes the demand for more infrastructure. More reservoirs, more hospitals, more police, courts, prisons, shops, the list will be endless. So much for their green scheme, because this will take up a huge area of green space but needs must and we need more housing, that’s a reality.

However, we need to stop letting boat people come to our country because we are a small country and we just cannot house them all, and we need to get us back to a sustainable population. But these people are allowed over on the boats, they come and occupy our land, then they breed and have enormous families that we can’t possibly house.

But what happens when we run out of land to build on, then what? The Government need to say no to any immigrants coming to our country. It might sound callous, but we simply don’t have the room for them.

Of course, immigrants are extremely profitable. They will work long hours and more money to send home to their relatives who will then come to England because it is more beneficial for them and more beneficial for the Government because they know these immigrants will work like slaves for very little money because what they earn here is much more than they would earn back home.

The Government will build up, like Hong Kong. We will all live in tiny rooms and our wages will be enough to buy a bowl of rice.

Our Government need to acknowledge that immigrants are the primary driver of our housing crisis. They must also realise that they just can’t build themselves out of this.
