UK golf courses face housing development pressure amid green space protests

Protests have erupted across the UK against plans to build on golf courses, with around 170 organisations taking part in a day of action. The demonstrations, organised by the Community Planning Alliance, highlight growing tension between housing development targets and preservation of green spaces. In Leicestershire, Protect Enderby and Narborough Green Spaces is fighting a proposal for up to 800 homes on Enderby Golf Course. The debate intensifies as the government aims to build 1.5 million homes in England over five years, with golf courses increasingly seen as potential development sites despite serving community purposes.
