Publication of Green Belt Assessment on the Council's website noted. Whilst a number of sites are assessed, it is evident that the Council have not taken into account the results of this assessment when preparing their Draft Local Plan. In particular, it is noted that the Council has allocated a number of sites, which have a 'moderate' impact to the Green Belt, rather than the smaller, but 'Low to Moderate' risk sites.
No justification within either the Assessment or the Draft Local Plan, as to the reason why those 'low-moderate' sites have not been allocated. Failure to explain why the Evidence Base does not influence the housing strategy makes the Plan, at present, unsound.
