§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many(a) Green Belt and (b) green barrier areas there are in Wales; and if he will make a statement. [80845]
Mr. Jon Owen JonesThere are currently no Green Belts in Wales and information on the extent of green barriers in Wales is not collected centrally.
Planning policy guidance on Green Belts in Wales is set out in the first revision of "Planning Guidance (Wales): Planning Policy" which was published on 7 April.
In future, planning guidance on Green Belts in Wales will be a matter for the National Assembly.
