One of the challenges should be to preserve the best and most versatile agricultural land in the Local Plan Area, and to prioritise the less productive and less vesatile agricultural land for food production.

REASON - If, as stated, the number of households is set to increase from 495,000 to 1.2m by 2039, then we will need to produce more food, and ideally not be reliant on imported foods. We will need the best and most versatile land for food production, and this should be a major consideratin when determining if land should be taken out of the green belt.
