Green Belt land which has rich soils for food production should be protected. Hence the value of agricultural land should have a higher rating in the assessment as this has a big economic impact as well as reducing the carbon footprint. (e.g. if we don’t grow our own food locally, we have to import it from abroad). At a national level, South Warwickshire has relatively little high quality land so it would be more appropriate for the harm to be regarded as Significant rather than Moderate. The benefits of building on this do not outweigh the harm.
