Campaigners to sue over plans for greenbelt homes
==========
Campaign group Save Greater Manchester’s Greenbelt is taking legal action over controversial plans to build thousands of new homes on greenbelt land. The project called Places for Everyone aims to build 175,000 homes in total, along with industrial sites, on both brownfield and greenbelt land. Nine of the 10 boroughs in Greater Manchester have signed up to the plan, with Stockport opting out. Around 20,000 houses are still planned for greenbelt areas. The campaign group believes there is enough brownfield land to build all the homes the region needs and insists there is 'no requirement' to use the greenbelt. The group has issued a pre-action protocol letter and is fundraising for the legal challenge.
