00:04Five Derbyshire councils have confirmed their intention to begin a review of protected Green

00:09Belt areas amid criticism of the Government's new planning legislation from environmental

00:13groups.

00:15Authorities for Chesterfield, North East Derbyshire, Amber Valley, High Peak and Derby

00:20have each been awarded £70,000 in Government funding to undertake Green Belt reviews in

00:25respect of recent updates to the National Planning Policy Framework.

01:29development, leadership and management and early years provision have all been graded as good.
