QBD 5 November 1991. This case concerned an application under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 s287 to quash a local plan in so far as it related to 32 acres of land which had been included within the Green Belt. The Green Belt concept had appeared in many local plans since 1968, although the area in question was not included until the 1985 county structure plan when it was stated that the `inner boundary of the Green Belt...will be defined as to follow generally the limits of the existing development`. In February 1988 the council approved the council local plan for consultation purpose. There were a number of objections, including one from the applicant R who argued that the inclusion of the land was not necessary for the performance of the various Green Belt functions identified in PPG 2. An Inspector however recommended that no change should be made to the boundaries. R appealed to QBD on the grounds that the final local plan did not conform to the structure plan.
