Open Remove the grey belt planning rules

Created by Timothy Copsey
Closes on

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.

We think the grey belt policy needs to be revoked.

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