This assessment will identify the relative performance of the General Areas against the NPPF defined purposes of the Green Belt; Part 2 would identify and consider the development potential of any land parcels that do not perform a Green Belt purpose or those which perform least well and would ultimately be the subject of a separate procurement exercise by the Buckinghamshire Councils. Arup have been commissioned to carry out Part 1 only and Part 2 does not form part of the current Study. 1.1.3 This report sets out the proposed methodology for Part 1 of the Green Belt Assessment (the ‘Study’). 1.2 Purpose of Study 1.2.1 The purpose of a Green Belt Assessment is to provide evidence of how different areas perform against the Green Belt purposes set out in national policy; planning authorities may then take this into account alongside other evidence in making decisions about possible changes to Green Belt boundaries. A boundary revision can take the form of an expansion or a contraction. However, equally a Green Belt Assessment may conclude that no changes are appropriate. 1.2.2 The Green Belt Assessment will provide an independent and objective appraisal of all the existing Green Belt land as well as non-Green Belt land within Buckinghamshire. This report has been undertaken in accordance with the Study brief, which is clear in its aspirations to: Draw on best practice in Green Belt assessments in order to establish a robust methodology for assessing the Green Belt in Buckinghamshire against the five purposes of the Green Belt established in the NPPF; Identify and delineate logical and justified parcels of Green Belt land for assessment, review each land parcel against the five Green Belt purposes, evaluate and score the individual land parcels and 242368-4-05-02 | Issue | 11 August 2015 Page 1 J:\242000\24236800 - BUCKS GREEN BELT\4 INTERNAL PROJECT DATA\4-05 ARUP REPORTS\02 METHODOLOGY\DRAFT ISSUE 8 - FINAL FINAL FINAL 2015 07 16\BUCKS GB ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY - ISSUE - 2015 08 11.DOCX Buckinghamshire Green Belt Assessment Part 1A: Methodology present clear, comprehensive and fully justified conclusions on the performance of each land parcel; Consider whether any land not currently within the Green Belt fulfils Green Belt purposes and whether there is justification for including land within the Green Belt. Any such proposals should be consistent with the NPPF and include precisely defined boundaries. 242368-4-05-02 | Issue | 11 August 2015 Page 2 J:\242000\24236800 - BUCKS GREEN BELT\4 INTERNAL PROJECT DATA\4-05 ARUP REPORTS\02 METHODOLOGY\DRAFT ISSUE 8 - FINAL FINAL FINAL 2015 07 16\BUCKS GB ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY - ISSUE - 2015 08 11.DOCX Buckinghamshire Green Belt Assessment Part 1A: Methodology 2 Policy, Guidance and Experience 2.1 National Context 2.1.1 At the national level, the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (2012), national Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) and ministerial letters provide the policy and guidance context for the role and function of the Green Belt. The following section summarises the current position. National Policy 2.1.2 The NPPF (2012) sets out the Government’s planning policies for England and how these are expected to be applied. Central to the NPPF is the ‘presumption in favour of sustainable development’ which for plan-making means that local planning authorities should positively seek opportunities to meet development needs and should meet objectively assessed needs unless specific policies of the NPPF (such as Green Belt policy) indicate that development should be restricted. 2.1.3 Protection of the Green Belts around urban areas is a core planning principle of the NPPF. Policy for protecting Green Belt land is set out in section 9 of the Framework which emphasises the great importance that the Government attaches to Green Belts. 2.1.4 Circular 42/55 released by government in 1955 highlighted the importance of checking unrestricted sprawl of built-up areas and of safeguarding countryside from encroachment. It set out three main functions of the Green Belt which are now upheld in the NPPF: To check the growth of a large built-up area; To prevent neighbouring settlements from merging into one another; and To preserve the special character of a town. 2.1.5 The NPPF advocates openness and permanence as essential characteristics of the Green Belt stating that ‘the fundamental aim of Green Belt policy is to prevent urban sprawl by keeping land permanently open’ (paragraph 79). The NPPF details five purposes of the Green Belt: ‘To check the unrestricted sprawl of large built-up areas; To prevent neighbouring towns merging into one another; To assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment; To preserve the setting and special character of historic towns; and To assist in urban regeneration, by encouraging the recycling of derelict and other urban land’.
