EE18: Engineering Operations in the Green Belt

Proposals for engineering operations including laying of roads and hardstanding, material changes in land levels and formation of bunds are considered inappropriate development unless the applicant has demonstrated that the operations preserve the openness of the Green Belt at the site and its vicinity, and do not conflict with the purposes of the Green Belt. The extent and visual impact of the changes in land levels will be taken into account in assessing such proposals, as will the purpose and intent of future use of the hardstanding in order to ensure the visual effects are not harmful.
