Object to SP8: Support Green Belt review but plan should make clear no further process required

Full text:

Criterion c(iii) discusses the local housing allocations which the plan makes. The second bullet point refers to "sites released from the Green Belt as part of a comprehensive, District-wide review". We support the fact that the Green Belt Review has been undertaken and the conclusions which have been drawn in respect of our sites. That said, we have a concern that the wording of this policy in respect of the local housing allocations is ambiguous and may give the impression that there is some further process to be undertaken in future before the sites are released from the green belt. For the avoidance of doubt we suggest this policy should be clearer that the Local Plan itself is the vehicle amending green belt boundaries. Perhaps change the wording of this bullet point to be "sites which this Local Plan removes from the Green Belt following the comprehensive District-wide review."
