Generally supportive of Policy MS2 and recognition that limited infilling and the redevelopment of previously developed sites in the Green Belt is appropriate as set out in the NPPF. However it provides limited guidance on the form and nature of development the local authority will consider appropriate at Stoneleigh Park. THe current adopted plan includes a specific policy which the previous local plan inspector confirmed was required due to the significant scale of Stoneleigh Park, the fact it has a Royal Charter and its unique development position. Policy MS2 should be amended to cross refer to a new policy guiding the development of Stoneleigh Park. Support reference that there may be very special circumstances to support further development at Stoneleigh Park given its unique nature. Whilst having a masterplan or development brief to deal with this is desirable it is not essential and could be dealt with through a planning application if necessary.
