It is the work of officers and has not been formally considered by any authority. It therefore does not represent the views of any authority or other body.

The working paper drafted in March 2006 and finalised in April 2006 2. The assessment paper drafted in July 2006 and finalised in August 2006 3. The implications paper produced in August 2006 The review is the work of officers and has not been formally considered by any authority. The findings of the review have been considered in the formulation of the draft 3 Cities SRS and the draft Northern SRS which will form part of the Regional Plan to be published on 28 September 2006 and tested at a public examination in 2007. A project plan produced and agreed in December 2005 and added to in April 2006 have guided the review work. The review has started from the point that the principle of the green belt is well established and will remain. However, the review is related to the needs of development in the areas where there is green belt at present. General areas for possible extensions to the green belt have also been considered. The government's sustainable communities plan requires that the current area of green belt land within each region should be maintained or increased.

  • Barriers – Our Flexibility Is Our Strength
    A‐SAFE (UK) LTD • Introduction • 3D Warehouse & Barrier Application • Barrier Suitability & Loading • Fixing bolt data • General maintenance • A‐Safe – A Green option Click on image to play video A-SAFE BARRIERS – OUR FLEXIBILITY IS OUR STRENGTH A-Safe is the most innovative safety barrier system on the market. So innovative in fact, that it effectively makes conventional steel barriers obsolete by offering significant benefits in safety, cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness. WHY IS A-SAFE SO DIFFERENT? A-Safe products are Polymer-based, so they are far more flexible and durable than conventional steel barriers. Hit them with a vehicle and they will spring back into shape, rather than bending or buckling, thus cutting maintenance costs by greatly reducing the need for damage repairs. A simple concept and one that is already used in many other applications. For instance, the motor industry started fitting plastic bumpers to their vehicles years ago. A-Safe decided to use the same principle for their products, with outstanding results. SAFETY FIRST Although they are flexible, A-Safe barriers are extremely strong, effectively protecting your workforce, machinery, buildings and vehicles. All products are designed to meet the most stringent Health & Safety guidelines and are load tested to British Standards. COLOURING YOUR VIEWS A-Safe barriers feature a yellow and black colour scheme as standard, which enables both pedestrians and drivers to see at a glance where they should be and where they shouldn’t be. These colours are solid and highly resistant to scratching too, so no repainting is required. CUTTING YOUR COSTS Not only does A-Safe improve safety standards, it can also provide significant cost savings.
