Analysis of the data reveals that 34.3% of Manchester\u2019s Green Belt has already been developed. But nationally it is striking how little Green Belt development is due to housebuilding. In Manchester \u2014 which compares unfavourably with a national average of 8.4% Green Belt development \u2014 the proportion given over to residential is just 0.1%. A huge chunk of the city\u2019s Green Belt (28.2%) is occupied by transport and utilities \u2014 more than double any other area.<\/p>\n<p>The average proportion developed among England\u2019s major cities excluding Manchester is even lower than the national average at 7.4%. However, the largest proportion of residential development is the 2.7% recorded in Mid Sussex. The figures highlight for the first time how residential developments represent a relatively small source of development. The average proportion taken up by residential development across England is 0.28%, compared with 4.6% occupied by transport and utilities.\u2026<\/p>\n<p>To read the complete article go to the following link:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"V90QdD3vQy\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/manchester-green-belt\/58062\/\">Manchester tops land use table to develop a third of its green belt<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Manchester tops land use table to develop a third of its green belt&#8221; &#8212; Planning, Building &amp; Construction Today\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/manchester-green-belt\/58062\/embed\/#?secret=voymdbco3G#?secret=V90QdD3vQy\" data-secret=\"V90QdD3vQy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester has become the first city in England to develop more than a third of its Green Belt, analysis of new figures by modular homes developer Project Etopia reveals,\u00a0Planning, BIM &amp; Construction Today (pbctoday) reveals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23002","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=23002"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23002\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23005,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23002\/revisions\/23005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=23002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=23002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=23002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
