Support- The national position advocated in the NPPF, where the development of Green Belt sites should be a last resort and only considered once other sites have been considered first. This would align with the “exceptional circumstances” test set out in national policy.

Larger scale development (for residential and employment purposes) should, in the main, be prioritised in areas not within the Green Belt or within AONBs, although due regard must be had to where this is development that supports the preservation of such a landscape through land management – again, immediately at the site or in the wider domain.
