A green gap has been designated between Bridge and Canterbury. You can see the extent of our green gap here.
The green gap has been accepted as a key strategic policy in the recent examination of the Canterbury Local Plan.
The purpose of the green gap is to maintain the separation between Bridge and Canterbury. It’s a way in which inappropriate development can be prevented.
Canterbury City Council has decided that the green gap is of such critical significance that even the most minor development may be detrimental to the separate identity of our village.
