Relate some pro's and con's about Green Belt Architectural Companies that you've realised

Some forms of development are also not inappropriate in the Green Belt provided they preserve its openness and do not conflict with the purposes of including land within it. Green belt architects prepare and facilitate all planning documentation, evidence and applications for green belt planning, including any appeals. They provide an after-care service through construction and/or sale, to ensure town planning compliance is fully documented and to deal with changes or additions as the project progresses. Green Belt policy has been part of the planning system for some 74 years. The essential characteristics of Green Belts are their openness and permanence. Green Belt policy is used to ensure that land within the Green Belt is kept permanently open and free of development so that the spread of urban development is contained. However local authorities are taking into account the extent to which a site is previously developed as part of their Local Plan strategy. As a planning concept, Green Belts have been around almost as long as the modern Town and Country Planning System. The purpose of them has remained largely the same since then, and current government advice sets out five purposes for including land in one. The Green Belt risks becoming a commodity – land that has not (yet) been developed. Some believe that if the Green Belt could be released then housing supply would be increased, which would ultimately balance demand and reduce house prices.



Many local councils consider that rural areas can be categorised as 'pressurised', 'intermediate' and 'remote and fragile' and different green belt policy approaches should be developed for each of these. The debate concerning Green Belt release is highly emotive, but rarely sophisticated. The wider urban region represents not just opportunities for new housing, but also opportunities to generate energy, grow food, clean and store water, recycle and reuse waste materials. In some people's view, the Green Belt is generally uninspiring or unremarkable and is characterised as derelict and underused land given over to horse grazing or containing ‘bad neighbour’ development such as motorways, pylons or quarries. The approach to considering proposals for development in the Green Belt is to first ascertain whether or not the proposed development is appropriate in the Green Belt. Case Law recognises that the NPPF does not define what constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt. Instead it identifies what may be acceptable forms of development (i.e. development capable of being not “inappropriate”), with all other forms of development therefore regarded as inappropriate by necessary implication. Local characteristics and site contex about GreenBelt Land helps maximise success for developers.

Enhancing The Connection Between Residents And The Countryside

Buildings first evolved from a need to satisfy the human needs of shelter, security, worship, and so on. The way that these needs were satisfied using the available materials, space and skills gave rise to a wide range of building techniques and styles. The National Planning Policy Framework, under a part known as Paragraph 79, states that a development on green belt land can be permitted if it is of high architectural value and quality. Green Belts create/contribute to lower temperatures and mitigate heat waves; they are fundamentally important in building urban resilience. They can also provide a biodiverse ecosystem and a place for recreation, exercise and enjoyment. Green Belt covers 1.6 million hectares in England, equivalent to 12.3% of all land, and 19 local authorities have at least 75% of their land designated as Green
