Planning permission isnot normally given to developers. They stop the outward growth of city andprevent towns and cities merging together to form a continuous urban area. Theyprotect the open nature of the countryside and preserve the land for farmingand to provide access for recreation eg golf courses.•Brownfieldsites: have been redeveloped by building industrialsites with the built-up area rather than developing out-of-town greenfieldsites. •Inner-cityredevelopment: involving modernising of old properties meansthat people carry on living there, reducing the need for new estates around thecity. |
