Site constraints 6

Green belt: Cheltenham and Gloucester
Inappropriate development needs very special circumstances.
Green belt policy allows a short list of exceptions, such as limited extensions and replacement buildings. Anything else needs very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm. Some green belt land can count as grey belt, where it does not strongly serve the green belt's purposes. The council decides this in its green belt assessment or on each application, so we do not mark it here.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
