Private fields offer little ecological value, and some landscape value where visible, but none are protected landscapes, so it is inappropriate for a policy to require that the whole network of fields is maintained without any flexibility to accommodate likely future development requirements. This is an inappropriately blanket and overly restrictive policy more onerous than Greenbelt policy and is designed to prevent development rather than enable it and should be amended to allow the least sensitive greenfield sites to be released for development where housing need is demonstrated.
