NPPF GB5: Beneficial uses of Green Belt land

GB5: Beneficial uses of Green Belt land 1. Green Belt land should provide benefits for communities and nature, which means that the development plan should, at the most appropriate level, set out: a. Opportunities to improve the environmental quality, secure improved public access to greenspace, including for outdoor sport or recreation, allotments and community food production, within the Green Belt; b. How the Green Belt can contribute to the priorities for nature recovery set out within relevant Local Nature Recovery Strategies; and c. Opportunities to support the objectives of the National Forest, England’s Community Forests and Protected Landscapes, where these lie wholly or partly within the Green Belt.
