Green Belt Where Is The Common Sense? I am Confused!

I am starting to get really confused about Green Belt and tying myself up in knots with wording. For people lucky enough to live in such an area is a privilege and we are responsible for looking after it not just for ourselves but for future generations and our  visitors to enjoy. As I looked at the telegraph Interactive map of Green Belt, I wondered what the little splodges of white unidentified land were. Then the penny dropped  they are Within The Green Belt but not classed as Green Belt I may be wrong I may be right , Then again they may be future proposals for development that are indeed classed as Green Belt I haven’t quite worked it out unfortunately the map doesn't give that type of detail. I was surprised that Stratford Upon Avon wasn't in the Green Belt nor many of the pretty villages around it. Including Shottery I can only assume they are in open Countryside.

It is a nifty little tool which I suspect will catch on very quickly and become the norm and probably will be the new Windows of the future.

My mind sort of went off in a tangent. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-20510692 Mr Boles quite clearly states the Green Belt  is protected he wants to keep it  ! Good News to Me- However he followed it up with, people will have to accept that we build on some open land. So my question is to Land and planning Techies Does Open Land which I presume means Open Countryside have different  planning  permissions to that of protected Green Belt? If so does anyone know where I can find the differences   Whilst the media is jumping up and down about Green Belt Land should we not be concentrating on protecting the open Countryside that surrounds the Green Belt. I think we all probably get mixed up at times. Green Belt Open Countryside Two very di
