Green Belt protection. We have abolished the top-down Regional Strategies of the last
Administration which sought to delete the Green Belt in and around 30 towns and cities.</p><p>
</p><p>In recent months, we have published waste planning policy which increases protection
of the Green Belt; issued planning guidance which re-affirms the importance of the
Green Belt during Local Plan preparation; and have consulted on proposed changes to
planning policy on traveller sites to further increase Green Belt safeguards.</p><p>
