	The green belt is not universally supported. Some see it as a barrier to growth and suggest that it is unreasonable to continually demand that more housing is constructed whilst simultaneously protecting the green belt. Others suggest that protection of the green belt means our cities become more and more dense, pushing up property prices.		The green belt is not universally supported.

		+	# The Secretary of State must lay a report on the findings of this review before Parliament no later than one year after this Act comes into force.”
