Green Belt sites have been chosed before non-greenbelt sites have been exhausted. It is clear that there is a vast disproportion of distribution throughout the District's villages. Larger, more sustainable villages, with boundaries outside of Green Belt are proposed to accommodate far less housing when compared to smaller, less sustainable villages tightly constrained by Green Belt. 64% of the total requirement is expected to be achieved from villages currently within Green Belt, despite Barford and Radford Semele being capable of accommodating far higher levels of housing than proposed. As there are additional sites within these two non Green Belt villages that can accommodate housing without the need for incursions into Green Belt the approach to is unsound and does not comply with national policy.
