It is absolutely not true, @BBCr4today Gtr Mcr has sufficient suitable, available & achievable brownfield to meet gov targets but have still released over 2,000 ha GBelt! This is about profiteering from our green spaces, not about housing NEED! @SGMGB2017

So @AngelaRayner your own constituency of Tameside has a massive plan to build on its greenbelt despite the constituency not being listened to , despite there being no social homes. Also no talk of brownfield first .. continued in comments

Your own front bencher @jreynoldsMP came up with the idea of decimating our greenbelt! Seen as no 106 agreements have been put in place yet and only outline planning has been put in place i assume you'll be updating your council to ensure brownfield first and more social Homes?

You also talked about infrastructure being put in place , two people fainted on the trains that would connect Godley because it was so overcrowded , something that the community has raised over and over again but is continually glossed over . @MailOnline @MENnewsdesk

Passengers faint on overcrowded train , on a line where they want to put an extra 2150 houses next to it at godley green! Our concerns have been disregarded time and time again by @TamesideCouncil . There isnt the infrastructure! @MENnewsdesk @BBCNews notreallyheremedia.com/news/…

Northern rail have already said they couldnt put extra carriages on or extra trains because its a single track line and there is no where to store any extra carriages. But we are ignored! But building a bridge between godley and the train station is adequate infrastructure πŸ˜–

So no actual protection for Green Belt then!
Green Belt area has declined over the last decades. NB excludes Northumberland which was a technical change

So here is @AngelaRayner protesting to save the greenbelt,but now she’s deputy prime minister she’s complicit in allowing the greenbelt in her area Tameside to be built on? Godley green is not grey belt! So how does that work? @BBCNews @itvnews

This is how @TamesideCouncil treat their community! They don’t care about the environment when wanting to concrete over our countryside. Its just words and lies . 4200 people tried to make a difference and they was IGNORED!

@StockportMBC This looks great, brownfield first, walkable, reuse, saving CO2, regeneration and CBD location πŸ‘πŸ‘†@RosieP4 Unlike @TamesideCouncil please do better, for proposals on Green Belt whilst the town centres are partly derelict @SaveTameside πŸ™

I said same at a meeting tonight at #Braintree District Council. Biodiversity Net Gain plans as things stand will not stop the decline of #nature. To do that we need to stop destroying habitats in situ and stop pretending they can be "provided somewhere else".

Here we go again… developer reneging on affordable promises & new town failing. β€œGilston developers set for huge windfall by scrapping plans to build 1,700 affordable homes claim property consultants” Why won’t the council listen? yourharlow.com/2023/11/17/gi… @horatiohound

Godley Green urban extension; sole justification for loss of greenbelt is an unsubstantiated housing requirement; a measly 15% to be β€œaffordable”; Homes England funding for private housebuilders; a design code and masterplan that predicts car dependency. Shameful!
How on earth can they β€˜protect and enhance’ the evironment by building 2150 houses on greenbelt! They live in a dream world. How can they possibly create 500 jobs annualy? They certainly didnt answer that at the meeting . Just some incoherent rambling with no definitive answer

Given there is sufficient suitable, available & achievable brownfield land across Greater Manchester to more than meet the Government's housing target, this decision is about GREED, not need!
So which is it @RishiSunak @michaelgove ? You either want to give residents power or not? #greenbelt is either precious or its not? To call out @Keir_Starmer for wanting to build on our greenbelt and you’re doing just that!! 4000 objections just ignored @BBCPolitics @TelePolitics

So @michaelgove @RishiSunak greenbelt is not sacrosanct / precious. A 72 year old landowner has not even been told yet. He says he will not leave!! In the letter ive seen it says the government will leave it to local councils and communities to decide. It had 4000 OBJECTIONS
Approving the controversial Godley Green Garden Village scheme has been given the all clear by the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, Michael Gove. tamesidecorrespondent.co.uk/…
