Representation Summary:

t Philips do not support the development strategy contained within draft Policy DS1. The text implies that a Green Belt designation directly contributes to the ‘district's rural character’, which suggests Green Belt is a landscape designation. Green Belt is a policy designation, and its purposes is to prevent urban sprawl as opposed to providing protection for rural character and
landscape. It is therefore imperative that the Local Plan
comprises a detailed Green Belt review, to ensure that development needs beyond the Plan period can be met.
