Green belts
• Green belts are areas of protected countryside.
• The purpose of green belts is to stop urban sprawl.
• Green belts include farmland, woodland, small towns and villages.
• England’s green belts cover 13% of the country.
• 90% of England’s population live in urban areas which are within green belts.

The Government says:
© WJEC CBAC Ltd.
We may have to build on the green belt because:
• We need 3 million new homes by 2030.
• There is a great need for affordable housing.
• There may not be enough land elsewhere.
• Only a small proportion of homes are actually built in the green belt – in 2014 it was 1.6%.
• Building new homes will help our economy grow.

Walker Riverside regeneration project unveiled
© WJEC CBAC Ltd.
Newcastle upon Tyne City Council is planning to redevelop derelict land in the Walker Riverside area of the city as part of its strategy to build 3 000 new homes in the city.
The Council wants to replace old disused industrial areas with a brand new housing development which will include shops, schools, and health services.
It is hoped that as brownfield sites such as Walker Riverside are redeveloped across the city, they will become the location of choice for families to live and work, now and in the future.

Factfile
Build on green belt site
• The population of Newcastle upon Tyne in 2011 was 282 000. This is expected to increase to 314 000 by 2030.
• Building new homes in the Newcastle upon Tyne green belt could provide 22 000 local jobs.
• 15% of the homes to be built are for affordable rent or shared ownership.
• Building 3 000 family homes would lead to an increase in the number of children living in the area.
Build on brownfield site
• The Government is committed to building on brownfield sites as part of its National Sustainable Development Strategy.
• Industrial decline in Newcastle upon Tyne has caused some areas of the city to become derelict. These areas could be improved by new development.
• The farmland around Newcastle is high quality arable land.
• The Government is making £200 million available to support building on brownfield sites.
