About
How do we balance the benefits of green space against the demands of development? Green space is vital for health and wellbeing. Do we need new planning tools to protect and enhance our green future?
Planning policy implies a balance between environmental and economic sustainability but is this balance actually being achieved in practice? If not, then what tools does the planning system provide us to redress this balance?
Speakers

Save Greater Manchester Green Belt
How can we harness public opinion, how do we campaign for green space, what impact can we have through lobbying and protest?

Andrew Wood and Jackie Copley
