While the 'Green Belt' can never wholly be sacrosanct, there has to be a presumption that it remains off limits for large-scale development - the 'Brownfield First' strategy. Where the release of minor parcels of Green Belt is sanctioned, these should always be offset by offsetting investment in protecting and enhancing neighbouring green spaces for nature conservation and public enjoyment.
