The government hopes to build thousands of new homes a year around the county - here are the targets for the 14 areas
The Prime Minister said providing homes for people must be the "top priority" over nature and the environment as Government reforms are set to allow more building on the green belt.
Sir Keir said he wanted to "get the balance right with nature and the environment" but that "a human being wanting to have a house" has to be top priority. The PM and his deputy Angela Rayner have pledged to build 1.5 million homes and take decisions on 150 major infrastructure projects this parliament.
Those purposes include limiting urban sprawl, stopping neighbouring towns merging into each other and preserving the special character of historic towns. Safeguarding the countryside from encroachment and assisting in urban regeneration are no longer included as green belt purposes.
