Welcome Council using land use powers to maximise economic benefits of HS2 and acknowledgement of need to release Green Belt.
Insufficient land allocated in Plan. Green Belt boundaries will not be permanent. Requirements of NPPF not met.
Potential to release more for safeguarded land.
Concern that 'managed' part of Managed Growth is overly restrictive and outdated planning policy approach.
Sequential approach not in accordance with NPPF. Sustainable land should be identified regardless of existing policy constraints.
Support growth in most sustainable locations, but a wider dispersal strategy would meet local needs and provide housing in short term.
