Burton Green Neighbourhood Plan - Regulation 16 Submission

5.1. Policy 1 - Development of Agricultural Land

5.1.1. Development of the best and most versatile agricultural land (defined as land in grades 1,2 and 3 of the Agricultural Land Classification) will not normally be supported unless it can be demonstrated that development of agricultural land conforms to National Greenbelt policy, is necessary and in the public interest and no other land of a poorer quality is available. Operational development or changes of uses directly associated with and necessary for agricultural activity will be considered compatible with this policy.
