Support overall strategy. Agree that it is clear from the Joint SHMA that the level of housing required to meet identified need provides exceptional circumstances to justify some removal of land from the green belt. Recent cases makes the NPPF requirement to ensure Local Plans meet their full, objectively assessed need 'not just a material consideration, but a consideration of particular standing'. We support the Council in identifying the Red House Farm land as a Green Belt release: the reasons for the exceptional circumstances required to support such a release are to meet the identified housing need and to support the regeneration of a deprived area.
