Representation Summary:

Q6: Policy SP5: Green Belt

We support Policy SP5 which sets out the sites identified for Green Belt release.

In particular we support the identification of site NW10/H - Allerton Road, Prune Park Lane. The 5-year housing land supply published in January 2021 identifies that the Council have a 2.03 year supply of housing land. This is reconfirmed within the recent appeal decision for land to the west of Burley-in-Wharfedale at Sun Lane and Ilkley Road Ref: APP/W4705/V/18/3208020 in which the Inspector considered the Council’s land supply to be very low, less than 2.06 years. There is therefore a clear and exceptional need for Green Belt release for housing to meet the identified housing need.
