Recommendation 11
11
Paragraph: 45
Prioritise and incentivise brownfield development while protecting Green Belt green spaces
Recommendation
The development of brownfield sites should be prioritised and incentivised, and green spaces in the Green Belt should be protected. However, brownfield sites alone cannot deliver 300,000 net new homes per year in the long-term. In particular, the greater upfront cost of brownfield development means there is less capacity to deliver affordable housing on these sites.
