The Green Belt boundary does not need to be changed. The National Planning Policy Framework states that the "essential characteristics of Green Belts are their openness and their permanence."
The council have not demonstrated "exceptional circumstances" to change the boundary.
Back in 2011, during a consultation on options for growth levels for the district, the council had already decided on moving Green Belt boundaries in order to accommodate new houses.
If changes are made now then this will set a precedent and every 15 years we face the prospect of losing more Green Belt.
