CONCLUSIONS
34. Green belts will continue to play a key role in managing change in Scotland's towns and cities and, once in place, should be robustly protected. It is important that the evolution of our towns and cities is planned on a realistic forward view of 20 years, taking into account the need to protect important characteristics of settlements and improve quality of life. Long-term growth should be planned to ensure that better quality development is delivered on the ground and communities and other stakeholders have greater confidence that the policy framework will be stable and effective.
