Noted that Green Belt approach has been reviewed and due to exceptional circumstances, there is an allowance for some employment development. Further releases will be required to enable the District to recoup its economic position and support other policies.

Support conclusions that exceptional circumstances exist which require the deletion of land from the Green Belt for the provision of housing and employment land allocations.

Object to conclusions that the amount land take must be kept to an absolute minimum. Continued application of tight Green Belt boundaries is harmful. Has led to specific problems:

1. continuous household out-migration;
2. increased house prices due to lack of delivery;
3. negative impact on housing delivery;
4. failure to realise environmental/recreation enhancements, and other Plan policies.
