Exceptional Circumstances required by NPPF to remove land north of Milverton from Green Belt have not been demonstrated by WDC.
There are suitable sites closer to Coventry that should be utilised in preference to the land North of Milverton, close to sustainable transport, existing road links, community facilities and employment opportunities.
WDC is artificially creating an area of 'Safeguarded' land which is not compliant with NPPF advice.
It is necessary to prevent development around Old Milverton Village because of the important contribution which the open character of this historic village makes to the openness of the Green Belt.
