EE17: Infilling or Redevelopment on Previously Developed Land in the Green Belt

The limited infilling or partial or complete redevelopment of previously developed land (excluding temporary buildings) is not inappropriate in the Green Belt providing there would be no greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt than the existing development. The following considerations will be taken into account:

  • Lawful status of existing buildings and any hardstanding;
  • General height and storeys of existing and proposed buildings and their disposition around/within the site;
  • Existing and proposed floorspace and footprint;
  • Existing and proposed hardstanding;
  • Existing and proposed development envelope and amount of undeveloped areas;
  • Relationship with existing landscape features and integration with surroundings including space within and around the development particularly close to boundaries and views from within and outside the site;
  • Phasing of proposed development including any demolition proposed.
