Constituency data: Green belt land in England

A green belt is a designated area of countryside around urban settlements that is protected from development to prevent urban sprawl. Development in these areas is restricted and generally only permitted under very special circumstances.

This page provides data on the number of hectares of green belt land in each parliamentary constituency in England on 31 March 2025. The proportion of the total land area of the constituency this represents is also shown.

The extent of land designated as Green Belt in England on 31 March 2025 was estimated at 1,633,220 hectares, around 12.5% of the land area of England.

Details of the relevant local authorities that control Green Belt land in the constituency are also shown.
