Policy H11 as written is sound and is established Policy for Green Belt, as earlier set out in PPG2. It allows new houses in washed-over settlements under very strict controls. These are well set-out in the Policy.

Paragraphs 4.77-4.79 are also sound and in accordance with national Green Belt policy.

The policy makes no reference to the village boundaries identified on the policy map. The boundaries do nothing to assist the implementation of Policy H11 and would be likely to harm it by increasing applications which then need to be refused under the terms of the Policy itself.

The NPPF gives no support to showing 'village infill boundaries' for washed-over settlements in the Green Belt.

Village infill boundaries are shown for some small villages outside the Green Belt. These should also be deleted.
