Places and Spaces webinar: It’s not easy being green

Join James Clewlow, Beth Gascoyne, Andrew Black and Eleanor Trenfield for an insightful session exploring the requirements to integrate green space, nature recovery and biodiversity under the revised NPPF.

Grey Belt has provided a significant opportunity to unlock green belt sites but the NPPF requires such developments to provide, or make improvements to, green spaces as part of the ‘Golden Rules’. The framework also sets out expectations for green infrastructure as part of new development.
