The National Planning Policy Framework ('NPPF') requires plans to take into account broader policies and explicitly excludes Green Belt from its presumption in favour of sustainable development. Unmet needs from neighbouring authorities should be met 'where it is reasonable to do so and consistent with achieving sustainable development' (NPPF paragraph 182). Green Belt is explicitly cited as a policy indicating that there can be exception from the need for plans to meet objectively assessed needs. National policy is clear that unmet demand is unlikely to outweigh harm to the Green Belt to constitute the very special circumstances needed to justify inappropriate development in the Green Belt. The cumulative impact of meeting in full sub-regional needs for both housing (Policy DS NEW1) and employment (DS16 Sub-Regional Employment Site) would be very harmful. These demands are excessive and not justified. Coventry living beyond its means is not sustainable and Warwick District should not have to pay the consequent price of Coventry's excessive demands to the sever detriment and amenity loss of its own residents and businesses. The proposed plans are unsound and unsustainable.
