Representation Summary:

Policy P17 Criteria 1 seeks to apply a blanket protection to all areas of the countryside regardless of their ‘intrinsic’ character or ‘value’. Any protections must be in response to an identified value or something intrinsically important to that location.

The Council seeks the protection of best and most versatile agricultural land without identifying those areas it considers worthy of safeguarding. National policy does not seek to prevent development on the best and most versatile agricultural land, but states that policies should recognise its economic and other benefits.

Change suggested by respondent:

Policy P17 Criteria 1 should either be deleted or amended to properly reflect national policy and available evidence
