In paragraph 7.27 it states 'it is necessary to assess Green Belt land in terms of its contribution towards the five "purposes" of including land in the Green Belt'.
From the NPPF these are:-
● to check the unrestricted sprawl of large built-up areas;
● to prevent neighbouring towns merging into one another;
● to assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment;
● to preserve the setting and special character of historic towns; and
● to assist in urban regeneration, by encouraging the recycling of derelict
and other urban land.
In the case of the land to the North of Leamington all 5 'purposes' apply to my mind.
