Green Belt
Q1. What is meant by a Green Belt area?
Barnet contains a large tract of Green Belt, which comprises predominantly open land, including woodland. However the main importance of the area of green belt is not in the quality of its landscape.
The fundamental aim of green belt policy is to prevent urban sprawl by keeping land permanently open. Barnet Council has consistently safeguarded the green belt by resisting inappropriate development and will continue to do so, in accordance with national and regional guidance.
