answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2020 answer text <p>In revising the National Planning Policy Framework we re-affirmed the protections for Green Belt. Under the strengthened “exceptional circumstances” test - applied if a local authority is considering adjustment of a Green Belt boundary – the authority is expected to show evidenced justification that it has examined all other reasonable options for meeting its development needs, and that Green Belt release is a last resort.</p><p>The Framework also expects development plans to set out ways in which the impact of removing land from Green Belt will be offset by compensatory improvements to access and environmental quality in the rest of the Green Belt.</p> answering member printed Baroness Bloomfield of Hinton Waldrist question first answered 10/03/2020 16:00:32 answering member 4582 label Biography information for Baroness Bloomfield of Hinton Waldrist
