Local Plan
Planning is about how we can plan for, and make decisions about, the future of towns, cities and countryside.
The government has passed the main responsibility for planning to local authorities who are responsible for deciding whether a development should go ahead. Every local authority in England has a Local Plan which contains information regarding the developments, timetables of production of key policy documents and statements of community involvement.
Through Promap, you are now able to view Local Plan information for a specific area detailing development plans and greenbelt areas that may affect decision making.

Green Belt Data
Green belt is an area of principally open countryside surrounding existing built-up areas, the purpose of which is to check the unrestricted sprawl of the built-up area and to safeguard the surrounding countryside against further encroachment. The general principle of green belt is a provision against further development.
Greenbelt data is produced in a digital format and is then verified against the local plan of the area.
Areas of Greenbelt are defined by Landmark as 'adopted' if they are sourced from adopted local plans or 'unadopted' if they are sourced from deposit plans. Some areas of Greenbelt shown in deposit plans may have already been previously adopted.
