Why these rules

Trade counter operators want roadside plots on main routes at towns; busier roads rank higher. Woodland is left out. Open green belt is left out: new commercial building there is usually inappropriate development unless the land is grey belt with an evidenced unmet need in a sustainable location (NPPF, August 2026, GB6 and GB7).

Green belt land already built on or surfaced is kept and ranks lower, as its redevelopment can be allowed.
