Geographic Information System (GIS) data with the following mapping layers from the Greenbelt Plan: * outer boundaries * protected countryside and urban river valley designations * specialty crop areas (Niagara tender fruit, grape area and Holland Marsh) * settlement areas (towns, villages and hamlets) * river valley connections. The data also contains associated policy designation mapping.

Summary for Local Authorities: Green Belt Policy in ScotlandPolicy Framework:Green belts are designated in National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) to manage urban expansion, support regeneration, and protect settlement identity.Local Development Plans (LDPs) determine where green belts are necessary and define their boundaries.Key Purposes of Green Belts:Direct Development – Encourage sustainable growth in suitable areas.Protect Settlement Character – Maintain the landscape and identity of towns and cities.Enhance Access to Open Space – Support public amenity and environmental benefits.Development Restrictions & Exceptions:Generally, development is not permitted in green belts.Exceptions include: Agriculture, forestry, and horticulture. Essential housing for key rural workers. Outdoor recreation, tourism, and leisure activities. Infrastructure (where essential) and cemeteries. Developments must demonstrate necessity, minimise impact, and align with green belt purposes.

Dataset showing the extent of Green Belt land in Salford as defined in the City of Salford Unitary Development Plan 2004 - 2016 (policy EN1).

The unitary development plan (UDP) is a statutory document that sets out the council's planning policies that are used to guide development, conservation, regeneration and environmental improvement activity in Salford.

The UDP and other adopted development plan documents comprise the development plan for the city. Decisions on planning applications must be made in line with the development plan, unless there are clear material considerations which dictate why this should not be the case.

Green Belt is a protective planning policy designation set out in national planning policy (currently the National Planning Policy Framework).

Boundaries of all designated Green Belts in and around the City of Edinburgh. These boundaries come from the Edinburgh Local Development Plan.

Designated Open Space includes lands designated as Green Belt, Metropolitan Open Land (MOL) and other public open spaces. These lands receive strong protected against development and are a vital component of London’s infrastructure.The Green Belt is established to prevent urban sprawl and protect the natural environment. While the Green Belt separates the urban from the rural, the Metropolitan Open Land (MOL) is strategic open land within the urban area. The Green Belt and the MOL are given the same level of protection. Other public open spaces refer to any other designated open spaces with public value.

To identify the Greenbelt Area as defined by the Greenbelt Act, 2005. The outer boundaries of Greenbelt area includes the lands within: * Niagara Escarpment Plan * Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan * Lands designated as Protected Countryside * Lands designated as Urban River Valley

This layer was built to show the component parts of the Greenbelt Area as set out in Ontario Regulation 59/05, as amended. ROP Consolidation September 3, 2024.The Greenbelt designations are areas that have Provincial plans and/or specific policies associated with them.There are currently four designations;1) Niagara Escarpment Plan2) Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan3) Protected Countryside; and4) Urban River Valley.

The green belt in Renfrewshire aims to identify appropriate locations to support planned growth, where required, as well as maintaining the identity of settlements, protecting and enhancing the landscape setting of an area and protecting and promoting access opportunities to open space. Appropriate development within the green belt will be considered acceptable where it can be demonstrated that it is compatible with the provisions of the New Development SG. Support will be given to developments that are able to demonstrate diversification within green belt and rural areas which promote new employment opportunities and / or community benefits.

The dataset titled "Greenbelt Plan mapping" falls under the domain of Economy and was published on January 11, 2020. It is owned by the Government of Ontario and the contact point for access is the same government body, specifically the Municipal Affairs and Housing department. The dataset is categorized under several tags including Economics and Industry, Economy and Business, Environment and energy, Government information, Housing Communities and Social Support, Housing Potential, and Infrastructure and Transportation. The dataset's owning organization within the CUDC is also the Government of Ontario. The dataset provides Geographic Information System (GIS) data with various mapping layers from the Greenbelt Plan. These layers include outer boundaries, protected countryside and urban river valley designations, specialty crop areas (Niagara tender fruit, grape area and Holland Marsh), settlement areas (towns, villages and hamlets), and river valley connections. The dataset also includes associated policy designation mapping. The source of the dataset is provided and it is licensed under the Open Government Licence – Ontario. The resources available in the dataset are Shapefiles. The metadata for this dataset was created on October 1, 2024, and was last modified on April 8, 2025.

A council development plan may designate a green belt around a city or town to support the spatial strategy by: - directing development to the most appropriate locations and supporting regeneration; - protecting and enhancing the character, landscape setting and identity of the settlement; and - protecting and providing access to open space. This dataset has been developed as a polygon layer.

Green Belt boundary from the 2019 Adopted Local Development Plan

Policy from the Runnymede Borough Council 2001 Local Plan (Saved Policies updated 2007). Designated as Policy GB10, this dataset shows the locations of major developed sites in the Green Belt.

The Runnymede Local Plan was adopted in 2001 and sets out our policies for guiding and controlling the way that buildings and land are used and developed in Runnymede.

The 2001 Local Plan will eventually be replaced by the New Local Plan. Information on our progress with the new local plan can be found on the Runnymede Borough Council website.

The 2001 Local Plan was intended to serve up to the end of 2006 but from 28 September 2007, the majority of the policies have now been 'saved' under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and continue to form part of the development plan.
