  • Chris Packham has backed a campaign to stop the government from building on green belt amid its plans to turbocharge housebuilding. He has endorsed a report which warns the countryside is at "grave risk" from ministers "hellbent" on achieving "sky-high" targets.

The article from Express.co.uk discusses Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer's stance on green belt land development, influenced by environmentalist Chris Packham. Starmer has expressed intentions to build on green belt land to address the housing crisis, a policy that has drawn criticism from Conservative MPs who argue it would lead to the loss of valuable green spaces. Chris Packham, known for his environmental activism, has publicly supported Starmer's approach, urging him to prioritize environmental considerations over traditional green belt protections. This has sparked a debate about balancing housing needs with environmental conservation, with critics like Tory MP Gareth Bacon accusing Starmer of being swayed by environmentalists at the expense of preserving green belts. The discussion highlights the tension between development and conservation, with Starmer's policy potentially reshaping urban planning in the UK.
