We're powerless to protect green belt, says council leader

A GREATER Manchester council has finally revealed where it plans to build thousands of new homes on green belt land.

Stockport council's leader unveiled the plans 'with a very heavy heart,' claiming the local authority is 'powerless' to protect the beauty spots.

The ruling Lib Dem group had promised to protect the green belt from development, having voted to pull out of a joint Greater Manchester plan. However, the government introduced high housing targets after Labour won the general election last year.

This meant that a consultation on the last draft of Stockport's local plan had to be halted and the process was started again.
