Representation Summary:
It is important to interrogate the Council's Green Belt assessment. This study is not wholly reflective or representative of the NPPF. Paragraph 84 requires Council's when reviewing Green Belt boundaries to take account of sustainable patterns of development. The Council's Green Belt study does not take account of the NPPF paragraphs 84 or 85 and is therefore fundamentally flawed. Nor does it consider permitted development rights and locations where development would not be inappropriate (paragraphs 89 and 90). On this basis the Green Belt work is simply no more than a landscape assessment.
