Appropriate that the Council resist development within Green Belt and Local Plan Areas of Restraint unless exceptional circumstances exist. Sites GT03, GT04, GT05, GT06, GT09, GT10, GT12, GT15 and GT16 are not within the Green Belt or area of restraint and have a capacity of 109 pitches (approximately 2.5 times the plan period requirement.) Therefore existing need can be met on sites without a policy designation and therefore no exceptional circumstances exist to allocate sites in the Green Belt or designated Areas of Restraint.

Accordingly development should be restricted from this site.

If exceptional circumstances do exist, part of site is within flood risk zone making its allocation less appropriate.
