Bate, R.

Stop this blatant abuse of green belt restraint - 1988 - District Council Review May 1988, 4-5(2) .

Demonstrates how the planning system is exploited by would-be farmers who seek planning permission in green belt areas for an agricultural worker`s dwelling, which is claimed to be essential to a viable, economic farming operation. The CPRE has discovered a number of cases where agricultural initiatives have not matched up to the assurances that accompanied the original planning applications and where farm workers` dwellings turned out as luxurious bungalows. Illustrates with examples. Suggests measures which should be taken to halt this flouting of planning regulations.
