OS7 Urban Fringe

Any proposals for development at the urban fringe which are otherwise acceptable in principle will not be permitted unless the multifunctional role of the area of providing a clear demarcation between the town and country, a bridge to the countryside, a link between green corridors and wildlife habitats in the countryside, and a gateway to the urban area is maintained and, wherever practicable, enhanced.

Proposals for publicly accessible open spaces in urban fringe areas aimed at addressing local deficiencies that can not feasibly be met elsewhere will be permitted.
