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.

In the interests of effective planning the Local Plan will need to retain flexibility now within its strategic policies and in order to respond to potential housing land supply shortfalls over the plan period. It may be that more advantageous, sustainable sites exist for example where the five purposes of the Green Belt is weak as opposed to poor performing countryside and brownfield sites.
