The plan to build on green belt is not sound, and is in conflict with national Green Belt policy (Section 9 of the NPPF). The justification for the excessive housing target that does not take proper account of Green Belt constraints is absent (NPPF para 14). The impact of individual developments on the countryside and communities including cumulative effects - for example, where there are also proposals in neighbouring Council areas is not justified. The effect of housing growth on local services and facilities including roads, schools, health services, and excessive local gravel and sand extraction.
