Why Most Green Belt Applications Fail
Many proposals are refused not because the idea is bad but because the story isn’t told clearly.
Councils need evidence of need, context, and design quality. Without these, even a good scheme reads as speculative.
At FormedLands, we specialise in bridging that gap turning policy language into strong, visual, and persuasive planning statements that work.
