<p>Most planning approvals in Green Belt are non-residential, many in support of agriculture.
National planning policy makes clear that most forms of development in Green Belt
are inappropriate. Local planning authorities, in consultation with local communities,
are in charge of protecting their Green Belt in line with policy in the National Planning
Policy Framework. If inappropriate development is proposed, the local planning authority
has to determine whether the harm to the Green Belt, and any other harm, would be
clearly outweighed by other considerations, and whether there are very special circumstances
to justify planning permission.<br><br></p>
