Despite having acknowledged the difficulties of meeting housing needs without the release of Green Belt sites, the Plan proposes no amendment to the Green Belt boundaries surrounding larger villages.
In the context that the housing needs are significantly greater than the Local Authority have been able to deliver in recent years, it will be sensible for small sites within the larger villages to contribute to overall housing provision and that there are opportunities for Greenfield urban extensions within the Green Belt to assist in overall housing delivery without demonstrable harm to the Green Belt or the character of the villages.
