Petition Remove the grey belt planning rules

The grey belt was introduced as a measure to enable building on poor quality Green Belt such as old car parks, abandoned petrol stations and scrub. We are concerned the planning rules are framed in such a way that high quality Green Belt can be lost to development.

More details

We are concerned high quality Green Belt is being lost to development and that the grey belt policy is causing great harm.
