Balanced and objective perspective on Green Belt. Recognising important role of Green Belt but also restriction it places on delivering new homes. Amending Green Belt will help to ensure a sufficient supply of deliverable and developable land - support for removal of sites from Green Belt to deliver housing and maximise affordable housing provision. Support for limited affordable housing through rural exception sites and amendments to Green Belt boundaries for development allocations. Support for Green Belt compensatory measures.
Support for clear breakdown of distribution of housing growth across 5 localities, but flexible approach needed specifically for the delivery of affordable housing. What is set out in each of the localities should be guidleline rather than policy.
