	The RICS proposed that local authorities and local communities work together to include a set quota of amberfield land in local plans that would be ready to be developed for housing. It suggested in the announcement of the report that this quota should be between 30% and 50% (although it is not clear what this represented) but that it would be adjusted through a process of open consultation to meet the needs of the local area. The RICS also proposed that amberfield sites would have to be developed within five years, and so local authorities would have to approve planning consent within a set time frame, or risk being classed as ‘failing’.

Hew Edgar, RICS head of government relations, said: “RICS’ past suggestion of a new land classification of Amberfield is ready to go land, identified by local authorities and communities as favourable for development in line with local needs. It would reduce costs for developers including local authorities and enable SMEs and self/custom builders to generate homes at speed."

−	Amberfield land would be an addition to the existing classifications of~~; greenbelt~~ or ‘greenfield land’, which establishes a buffer zone between urban and rural land, and ~~‘brownfield~~ land’, defined in Planning Policy Statement 3 (PPS3) in 2010 as ~~‘Previously~~-developed land…which is or was occupied by a permanent structure...’	+	Amberfield land would be an addition to the existing classifications of:

		+	* ‘Brownfield land’ – defined in Planning Policy Statement 3 (PPS3) in 2010 as ‘previously-developed land…which is or was occupied by a permanent structure...’

	There have been various attempts to introduce policies to encourage new development on brownfield land and to protect the green belt. However, brownfield sites can be difficult to develop, and in an interview on [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-20510692 BBC2’s Newsnight] in November 2012, planning minister Nick Boles, suggested that more than 388,000 hectares of open countryside would have to be built on to meet housing demand.
