Watch this Space: An Investigation of Strategic Gap Policies in England
Coalescence of settlements and urban sprawl have been acknowledged as problems in England since the 1950s. Green belt policy has been a critical tool in restricting these tendencies, but does not protect all valued 'gaps' between settlements. In this article, the introduction and evolution of alternative protective policies is explored, based on a comprehensive survey of English strategic planning authorities. Precious green space needs effective and appropriate protection; this study adds to the debate about the future shape of English urban growth management policies.
