Green belt alarm marks landmark
Baker, Chris
Green belt alarm marks landmark - 2005 - Planning (for the Natural and Built Environment) (1622) 3 June 2005, 8(1) .
Reviews the Campaign to Protect Rural England's (CPRE) report "Green belts 50 years on", which warns that green belts are now in greater need of protection 50 years after their introduction and that the biggest threat to them stems from government itself. Huge green belt areas could be taken over by the needs of the sustainable communities plan, the Northern Way strategy and the aviation white paper unless green belt policy is strengthened and enforced. CPRE believes that there is scope for eight new green belts in England. Presents a range of professional assessments of CPRE's proposals and comments by some of the local authorities responsible for the new green belts.
