The consultation is being led by Gedling Borough Council on behalf of Broxtowe Borough Council, Nottingham City Council and Rushcliffe Borough Council.
A Green Belt review does not itself determine whether or not land remains or is included in the Green Belt. It is the role of the council’s emerging Local Plan to formally revise Green Belt boundaries and to allocate land for development, having taken into account all relevant planning considerations.
The review is a technical exercise, comments are being specifically invited on the Framework from local authorities, parish councils and other bodies with which the Council has a ‘duty to co-operate’ as well as developers/landowners.
Once the Framework has been finalised and the review undertaken, decisions about Green Belt release and the identification of land for development will be confirmed through the preparation of each council’s local plan. There will be an opportunity for anyone to comment on these decisions through consultation on the local plan.
The purpose of the Green Belt Assessment Framework is to try to ensure that all the Councils have a common Approach to deciding the future of Green Belt and whether some areas should be Grey Belt when considering the update to the relevant Local Plan.
