Safeguard land for development other than housing.
NPPF seeks safeguarding of land to meet reasonable development requirements beyond 2029.
Insufficient provision risks Green Belt boundaries being reviewed at end of Plan period.
Better to identify safeguarded land now rather than making inadequate provision requiring alteration.
Development needs beyond 2031 cannot be determined but still need to identify safeguarded land.
Scale of housing land release comparable to Safeguarded Land provision for c1,700 dwellings and other uses.
Scale of provision cannot reasonably be considered consistent with national policy to 'meet longer term development needs stretching well beyond the plan period'.
