Representation Summary:

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.

Development is proposed in Green Belt locations when the "exceptional circumstances" required in the NPPF do not exist.

WDC has not clearly adopted a sequential test to prioritise development in brownfield locations, and is not doing enough to deliver homes as part of mixed use development on brownfield sites (e.g. land around Leamington station).
