The UK’s #greenbelt is a politically controversial area, particularly in the context of the demand for more homes against demands to protect the countryside. This leaves planning applications to develop on the green belt often facing appeal.
Join us for the first episode of our new series on #greenbelts, where Nicola Insley explores what the green belt is, the challenges and complexities surrounding it, and potential alternatives that can be considered to meet the demands of #sustainabledevelopment.
Throughout this series, Nicola Insley will cover:
- Purpose of green belts
- Controls on development in the green belt
- ‘Very special circumstances’
