In order to meet its housing requirement as defined under Policy SP8 and employment requirement as set out under Policy SP6 and with all reasonable alternatives having been explored, we agree with the Council’s conclusions that exceptional circumstances do exist which justify and require a change to the general extent of the Green Belt as set out in the Plan.

Detailed comments are made with regards to the green belt site assessment of NE19/H which differ in some respects from the Council's assessment.

For example it considered that the site does not perform any role with regards to safeguarding the countryside from encroachment.

Recommendation 3: We support our client’s land, site NE19/H, as a residential allocation and its subsequent
release from Green Belt.
