It's actually closer to 7.5%
When you include things like Roads, Industrial and Leisure developments. Granted, that still doesn't seem like much on paper, but most people live in an area where the immediate availability of green space is significantly lower than that, and is only shrinking as occupancy expands. It'd be interesting to see a comparison against numbers in the 70's or 80's.

Well 2% of that 'developed land' in England is just golf courses
That would be a 'leasure development' which is over a quarter of that 7.5%.
Just golf courses.
Want to complain about something?
Complain about that, not houses.
We could double the housing in England and all we would have to do is use the golf courses and nothing else.
