A rancid, stale odor laced the cold breath that fluttered over my shoulder. “Listen to me”, a voice hissed in my ear. It had been 10years to the day my best friend, Sophia Mason had disappeared the night of her 16th birthday. Every year seemed harder than the previous one.

The green belt has been one of the UK’s most consistent and successful planning policies. Over the past century, it has limited urban sprawl and preserved the countryside around our cities, but is it still fit for purpose in a world of unprecedented urban growth and potentially catastrophic climate change?
