Representation Summary:

There is more capacity for intensification in existing settlements before releasing this amount of Green Belt. RDC has provided no evidence of harm to the character of existing settlements which have low densities. DPD is unsound, RDC has not provided justification for the release of Green Belt and is not consistent with national policy which aims to reduce the need to travel by private car by locating development in sustainable locations which offer good access to jobs, key services and infrastructure. It is not legally compliant as it does not conform to the RSS or national policies.
