Green corridors (linked networks) planning - open data

Routes including canals, river corridors and old railway lines, linking different areas within a town or city as part of a designated and managed network and used for walking, cycling or horse riding, or linking towns and cities to their surrounding countryside or country parks. These may link green spaces together.

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.
