These are probably areas that have been de-designated, or are being considered for this fate, since the Telegraph's data source was compiled. This points to the major flaw with importing this data - it changes year to year, and we can't easily observe the changes on the ground. We might spot development on green belt and so remove the designation, we don't spot where new green space is designated as greenbelt. Unless we had ongoing co-operation from local authorities, within a year we'd be hosting a dataset that's out of date and impossible to check. The data is out on the Telegraph web site under unclear terms, it would be great to provide it in all sorts of other useful formats, but I don't think it's useful to import it into OpenStreetMap.
