The policy provisions as contained within Strategic Policy DS4 are supported. In particular criterion g) which sets out the exceptional circumstances for allowing new development within the Green Belt. In light of the national planning policy requirement for LPAs to identify and update annually a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide five years' worth of housing against their housing requirements with an additional buffer (paragraph 47 of the Framework), it is considered appropriate for the Local Plan to provide a mechanism through which Green Belt land could come forward. Accordingly, Strategic Policy DS4 is considered positively prepared; justified; effective; and consistent with national policy.
