Having looked at all the information, they calculated that "6.8% of the UK's land area is now classified as urban" (a definition that includes rural development and roads, by the way).The urban landscape accounts for 10.6% of England, 1.9% of Scotland, 3.6% of Northern Ireland and 4.1% of Wales.
Put another way, that means almost 93% of the UK is not urban. But even that isn't the end of the story because urban is not the same as built on.
In urban England, for example, the researchers found that just over half the land (54%) in our towns and cities is greenspace - parks, allotments, sports pitches and so on.
Furthermore, domestic gardens account for another 18% of urban land use; rivers, canals, lakes and reservoirs an additional 6.6%.
Their conclusion? In England, "78.6% of urban areas is designated as natural rather than built". Since urban only covers a tenth of the country, this means that the proportion of England's landscape which is built on is…
… 2.27%.
Yes. According to the most detailed analysis ever conducted, almost 98% of England is, in their word, natural.

No.... I'm sorry your reply is complete and utter nonsense, Kirk's post is about as accurate and truthful as it's possible to be.

I don't know where you live but I suspect it's not in the real World.

Our Urban areas are full , I live in London and have to suffer an ever diminishing quality of life primarily due to the huge numbers of people now living in the same small crowded space. More people more cars more pollution more demand on services.

This is FACT.....

You cannot argue against this ( much as you like to argue black is white)

My reply was fact the statement was'' the 'vessel which is the UK' is now 'Full to Brimming''

My issue wasn't with how overpopulated urban areas are, simply that is factually incorrect to suggest that the UK is full. You can dislike what I say or argue with facts back to the contrary but that doesn't alter the fact that the UK is by no means full.
Spoiler:


London is being cleansed and the undesirables shunted further north, that should make it easier to move around in London surely?
Unless the unscrupulous landlords who can rent out 1 room to 9 people are creating pockets of abject poverty and social degradation? Modern day slums; still... that can simply be ignored.
