The sites proposed for allocations would accord with the development strategy set out. It is shaped by the evidence base and on this basis, generally speaking, the Council is planning to build new homes in the right locations.
However, the Council has failed to grasp the opportunity to consider the Green Belt boundaries more comprehensively as part of the plan making process.
Even if a site is incapable of performing a strategic housing or employment role it does not mean that it should remain within the Green Belt if it performs poorly against the stated purposes.
