Green belt land should only be considered for development when no suitable alternatives outside the green belt are available. Even then, priority should be given to "grey belt" areas, which are less valuable in terms of green belt functions. Only after exploring all non-green belt options should the Council consider releasing green belt land. When doing so, it must focus on areas where development would have the least impact on the key objectives of green belt policy, as outlined in the NPPF. This approach helps balance development needs while protecting the integrity of the green belt.
