Before going on to the third stage ('reluctantly' developing on the green belt), a feedback loop to the first stage must be added, mandating a higher density of buildings on non-green-belt sites. Only after covering every non-green-belt brownfield site with 100-storey skyscrapers should the Council countenance releasing a single square metre of green belt.
In practice, this means adding an explicit presumption against low-density housing being permitted at all (in other words, all new housing must be terraced or flats, and preference must be given to tall buildings -- the green belt is far, far more important than the skyline).
