The NPPF generally protects Green Belts from development. It does encourage some specific growth, but this should be concentrated on previously-developed land or within towns/villages, NOT to the edge of villages.
WDC has by its own admission not yet completed its work with neighbouring authorities, so assessing based on the maximum 12,300 across the district is premature.
WDC has not clearly adopted a sequential test to prioritise development in brownfield locations, and is not doing enough to deliver homes on current development sites (e.g. land SE of Leamington station and Morrisons).
