Generally support spatial strategy but concerned that proposed housing allocations will not deliver the vision or the quantum of dwellings required to meet OAN.
Allocations inconsistent with the 'evidence base' that the Council has failed to undertake a comprehensive review of Green Belt boundaries. As such, the Council cannot demonstrate that the proposed strategy and housing allocations minimise the impact on the Green Belt. Consider the Local Plan unsound. The Council's working draft Green Belt Assessment does not appear to have informed policy.
The Policy also states that limited development, including infilling where appropriate, will take place in villages within rural areas; however this is not evident within the Draft Local Plan allocations as published for consultation.
