Green Belt should never be used and should be protected. The Green Belt has been reduced in previous years and at some point it has to stop being used otherwise there will be none left. In my opinion, there are no exceptional circumstances that warrant use of Green Belt for housing. Every single bit of brown field should be used. There will be more future brownfield as old factories, mills and disused buildings are identified. There a many buildings that have been abandoned for decades. Why?! The past 12 months has proven that green space is essential to our health, both physically and mentally. Greater Manchester Council has found solutions for housing through using disused buildings and this also stops anti-social behaviour around empty properties.
