1. Why review our Green Belts?
• Conflicts are hurting economic growth and wellbeing where land goes to waste
• The housing ‘crisis’ creates ‘exceptional circumstances’
• Coalescence is no longer the main threat • Brownfield land does not offer enough space in cities
like Oxford• Development economics favours sustainable urban
extensions or New Garden Cities• ‘Smarter growth’ could win widespread support

3. How can we achieve Smarter Growth?
1. Urban priority: build at least 60% of homes in urban areas
2. Green field resource: plan positively for elsewhere3. Positive planning: strategic planning should lead on what
goes where4. Sustainable development: major schemes should
minimise environmental impact 5. Funding: new mechanisms should plough back the ‘land
value uplift’ into local infrastructure eg green belt community trusts
6. Tools for the job: we should learn from other countries

How would historic cities benefit?
• A much greener, pleasanter and healthier setting (environment)
• More affordable homes (social justice)• Reduced travel times (environmental impact)• Better jobs (economic growth)• Sustained knowledge sector and investment
(property values)

4. What has to change?
1. Sub-regional spatial strategies (eg Cambridge)
2. Development agencies (eg Peterborough New Town)
3. Land assembly at existing use value plus (eg Development Corporations)
4. Local infrastructure bonds eg USA
