Representation Summary:
MDS no longer specifically provided for in NPPF, nor is it necessary to identify such sites in Local Plan. Council continues to make reference to MDS, so consider more appropriate to identify 'previously developed sites' in the green belt where infilling would be acceptable.
LP should have policy which identifies these including the main developed part of Hatton Estate and should be incorporated into PO16 in the same way that it identifies villages removed from the green belt.
This would provide necessary certainty to landowners, the Council and general public.
Remainder of policy should comply with NPPF.
