The Council should define the areas for proposed Green Belt release required to enable the revised minimum annual local housing need figure of 2,300 new homes/year to be met/exceeded.

The adopted Core Strategy outlines that around 11,000 homes are required to be delivered within the Green Belt to meet the minimum housing requirement outlined in that document. Adopting a minimum annual local housing need figure of 2,300 new homes/year for the new proposed plan period will require a similar scale of Green Belt release.

Within such a context, Site Reference NW/020 – Haworth Road, Sandy Lane should evidently form one of the allocated Green Belt release sites for housing.

Safeguarded Land - In any document proposing allocations or Green Belt release locations should also include indications of proposed Safeguarded Land to meet future needs, or to provide flexibility should any of the allocated sites provide undeliverable during the plan period.
