What Wales's rules mean for your land

Planning framework

Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.

Green belts and green wedges

England's grey belt rules don't apply in Wales. Planning Policy Wales sets out green belt and green wedge policy, which strongly restricts development.

When the land isn't straightforward

Your land is in Wales

Wales has its own green belt and green wedge policies in Planning Policy Wales. The English grey belt rules don't apply there.
