While some of this may be answered in the following point, this policy outline (SP4) does not give sufficient indication of the requirements that would be placed upon applications for green belt release. It also does not indicate if there would be any hard cap on green belt release for the whole district or lease within it, giving scope for potentially unlimited greenbelt release based on 'prioritisation' of factors not here presented. The wording - prioritisation of greenbelt release -, as opposed to prioritisation of greenbelt protection is very concerning. Surely priority should always be given to reducing greenbelt release as the primary consideration in any application?
