Stage 1 Green Belt Review Exceptional Circumstances (2022)


About this publication

The Green Belt within South Tyneside was established over 50 years ago to help prevent the spread of urban development within the area.

The Green Belt forms part of the wider Tyne & Wear Green Belt and remains an important asset to the borough.

The purpose of this report is to examine the strategic context and existing evidence base insofar as it relates to the possible need to release land from the Green Belt and provide an assessment as to whether the 兔子先生 considers that exceptional circumstances exist to justify the removal of land from the currently defined Green Belt.
