Local Planning Authorities with Green Belts in their area should only alter the Green Belt boundary in exceptional circumstances, through the preparation or review of the Local Plan.Green Belt boundaries should have permanence in the long term and be capable of enduring beyond the Plan period.The Council has not undertaken a strategic review of the Green Belt and therefore does not have the evidence base to selectively remove sites, such as Red House Farm, from the Green Belt.

The Council has identified that it is their intention to undertake a revised evidence base for the wider Housing Market Area which, importantly, includes a review of the Green Belt. This evidence base must inform this Local Plan as changes to Warwick's Green Belt cannot be implemented through a partial review.
