Shiplake, UK. 11th July, 2024. Homes under construction at a rural site in Shiplake, Oxfordshire. Labour has announced plans to build on the "grey belt". Chancellor Rachel Reeves has said that an overhaul of planning rules would see councils in England expected to prioritise building on brownfield sites and poor quality areas in the green belt. Green belt covers 13% of England and environmentalists are very concerned that this will mean more and more of our green spaces being concreted over. Credit: Maureen McLean/Alamy Live News
