Cambridge Green Belt Study (September 2002)
What is the Cambridge Green Belt Study (September 2002)?
We appointed Landscape Design Associates to do this study.
The brief was guided by Regional Planning Guidance 6 (RPG6), which says that:
- a review of the Cambridge Green Belt should be carried out and any proposals for changes to its boundaries included in development plans
- the review should start from a vision of the city and of the qualities to be safeguarded
(DETR and Government Office for the East of England 2000, Policy 24).
This study, describes and illustrates the factors that contribute to the setting and special character of Cambridge.
