The Local Plan adopts an unjustified inconsistent approach between the exclusion of land from the Green Belt - and inclusion within the Infill Village Boundary - of land allocated for housing, and maintaining in the Green Belt land adjoining the Infill Village Boundary which has been committed for other forms of urban development, such as the Free School. A consistent approach should be applied within the Plan.

The approach taken by the District Council in the identification of a boundary to the village for exclusion from the Green Belt is consistent with national planning policy set out at para 86 of the Framework. These criticisms of the lack of soundness in this aspect of the Local Plan are set out in the representations made on behalf of CGHT.

It is considered that the granting of planning permission, Ref: W/13/1763 amounts to an exceptional circumstance (granted for the reasons that very special circumstances had been demonstrated) for the exclusion of the land hatched red from the Green Belt.
