Ribbon development is the term for a line of houses built along existing highways, each being served by individual accesses. The land to the rear of the houses is not developed. The buildings can be positioned back from the road, staggered, set at different angles from the road, or left with gaps between them, and still be classed as ribbon development, so long as they are visually linked when viewed from the highway.

Ribbon developments arose following Industrial Revolution, predominantly along railway lines, such as the proposed ‘Metroland’ following London’s Metropolitan. They became more prevalent along roads radiating from towns in the 1920s and 1930s, but also along ridge lines, canals and coastlines. One reason for their popularity with developers was that services provided along the roads could be exploited, reducing the cost of development.

They became a focus of criticism for their inefficient use of resources and for their tendency to lead to urban sprawl, with towns and settlements that were once separate entities becoming more closely linked. The prevalence of suburban locations that would develop as ribbons made difficult the planned expansion of settlements, as well as hindering access to farmland.

There the concern that without planning controls, the pattern of sprawl would have been repeated wherever demand for housing throughout the country was high. With the Town and Country Planning Act 1947, green belt policies were introduced which aimed to curtail the spread of ribbon developments.
