Strongly support retention of existing green belt designations and their selective expansion where this assists deliver more sustainable patterns of development. Green belt policy outstandingly successful in delivering prime objective of urban containment and is one of best understood and most popular planning measures with public. Green belts continue to provide access to open space for urban population and play key role in inner city regeneration. Opposed to any relaxation of green belt policy unless
exceptional localised circumstances. More detailed assessment of landscape character and quality for district is still vital to inform proposed allocations of development on greenfield land.
