G2 London’s Green Belt
- The Green Belt should be protected from inappropriate development:
- development proposals that would harm the Green Belt should be refused except where very special circumstances exist,
- subject to national planning policy tests, the enhancement of the Green Belt to provide appropriate multi-functional beneficial uses for Londoners should be supported.
- Exceptional circumstances are required to justify either the extension or de-designation of the Green Belt through the preparation or review of a Local Plan.
