Policy does not accord with the NPPF.
It is clear from paragraph 138 that addressing ‘compensatory improvements’ should be addressed at the plan-making stage, not left to the planning application process. The concept masterplan (for KN2) makes no mention of Green Belt compensation and it is difficult to see how compensatory Green Belt measures will be achieved given the amount of built development on site. No off-site mitigation proposed. Comments in the masterplan document are vague and open to interpretation.
Concept masterplans should identify specific Green Belt compensation measures.
