Representation Summary:

The significant need for housing and the housing land supply shortage outside the Green Belt has satisfied the ‘exceptional circumstances’ test as detailed in the National Planning Policy Framework.

The proposed Green Belt boundaries for the Blythe area fail to exclude ‘land to the west of Tilehouse Lane’ from the Green Belt and therefore are unsound. The Council have failed to effectively use previously developed or ‘brownfield’ land ‘as much as possible’, contrary to paragraph 137 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
