New housing development should be to the highest possible densities (Strategic Policy SP7, “ maximise the efficient use of land by building to highest possible densities, especially near public transport hubs and sustainable transport corridors.”)

If this is done the amount of land taken from the Green Belt for housing throughout the district would significantly decrease.

The draft Local Plan does not demonstrate the ‘exceptional circumstances’ (NPPF, para 137) to justify extensive changes to Green Belt boundaries.
