This guidance note has been drawn up to help deliver this aim and provide further assistance to potential developers on what is or is not acceptable in the Green Belt.
In particular this note:
- provides greater clarity in terms of acceptable forms of new buildings and associated development in the Green Belt;
- provides general design related advice on the construction of new buildings in the Green Belt; and
- provides advice on how the environmental quality, amenity, wildlife interest and character of the Green Belt is maintained and where possible, improved.
This guidance note should be read in conjunction with other planning policies and guidance notes to ensure that a development proposal is considered against all relevant development plan policies and material considerations.
