Representation Summary:

Insufficient evidence to justify the compensatory improvements required by Policy P17A. Green Belt enhancements should be reasonable and proportionate to avoid jeopardising viability. Requirements outside the control of land promoters are undeliverable. Hierarchy in criterion 3 lacks robust evidence, and Green Infrastructure Opportunity Mapping not in evidence base. Policy should be based on robust evidence identifying deliverable land for enhancement, managed through S106 procedure.

Change suggested by respondent:

Amend policy to delete hierarchy and reference robust evidence identifying deliverable land for enhancement, managed through S106 procedure.
