Representation Summary:

NHDC have not proved that they have used up all brownfield site development areas and have not proved "very special circumstances" to remove WY1 from the current green belt status. Therefore, WY1, Little Wymondley should not be categorised as a village identified for growth. This proposed development and modification are unsound.
The new green belt areas proposed by NHDC are already open country side and will do nothing to prevent the sprawl of the towns and swallow up the smaller villages which is exactly what the green belt is designed for. The proposed modification is unsound.
