Our National Planning Policy Framework is clear that private residential gardens are excluded from the definition of previously developed or brownfield land. This ensures that councils are not forced into granting permissions in order to meet brownfield development targets, and this policy remains in place.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Framework asks local councils to consider the case for setting out policies to resist inappropriate development of residential gardens, including where development would cause harm to the local area. This allows councils to set policies which are appropriate to their local area.<\/p>
