The Green Belt (Protection) Bill would create a national register of Green Belt land in England and limit how easily local authorities can de-designate Green Belt land. It would also set rules about what development could happen on land that is ever de-designated, aiming to strengthen protections for the Green Belt.
The Bill is currently at the second reading in the House of Commons. If it advances, it would move through further stages in both Houses before becoming law.
