Under the plan as it stands, the majority of development will involve land currently within the Green Belt. It seems to be thought acceptable simply to re-draw the Green Belt boundaries so as to re-designate land as being outside - so that it can be built on. This makes a mockery of the whole process! Green Belt land should only be developed in very exceptional circumstances - none of which have been demonstrated by this Plan. If the growth plan is scaled back to a realistic level, very little Green Belt land will need to be developed.
