I live 3 miles from the centre of Leeds. Only 29%is built on apparently.

Bollocks. It they use more than the first two letters of the postcode it might provide a more accurate answer...

6% built, but we are in the process of having 10000 homes built right around my village. Post code covers a massive area though.

London Borough of Hillingdon

Built on 53%
Green urban 18%
Farmland 23%
Natural 6%

The surprising bit of that was 23% farmland in a London borough, thought it would have been in single figures.

Built on 4%
Green urban 2%
Farmland 84%
Natural 10%

Snap!

Nice to see looking at the map that I live on a 'built on' bit that is right next to pretty much the largest area of 'natural' in the local authority. Equally nice that the FC have built (and turn mostly a blind eye to us building and riding extra) some trails in that area.

Brighton and Hove

Built on - 40%
Green urban - 15%
Farmland - 43%
Natural - 1%

But I live just around the corner from a green urban space which gets me to the South Downs National Park in about five minutes on the bike. Can't complain!

All of my flat is built on.
Less than 20% of the house is built on.

50% natural, 35% farm, but I live in the edge of city, it's a shame it's calculated by boundary, as that really skews the picture and does not really mean anything, and not a certain radius from a post code or whatever.

Not sure how they are defining natural though

A very broad definition given that there is very little natural land in the UK. the highlands? Nope - man made landscape etc etc

8% built on in a nice bit of Cheshire, with ace little market towns as the build up bits and lots of green around farmy stuff and natural, with good links for travel. Yeh not bad
