Representation Summary:

A future release of a small area of green belt would not be harmful. The current policy is far too restrictive and precludes this from occurring regardless of potential possible future community benefits.
There is an area to the south of Rayleigh which no longer has a green belt function, where no coalescence would exist if development takes place plus several community benefits are possible such as school and permanent local resident access to a nearby public open space and woodland.
