Green Belts - Scotland

A council development plan may designate a green belt around a city or town to support the spatial strategy by:

- directing development to the most appropriate locations and supporting regeneration;

- protecting and enhancing the character, landscape setting and identity of the settlement; and

- protecting and providing access to open space.


This dataset has been developed as a polygon layer.
