Policy GB1
We support the general policy wording in line with our comments on CSP3. We do not support the large-scale removal of land from Green Belt. Where Green Belt status is removed, a policy of creating physical features to define the boundary is welcome, but this may be difficult when those boundaries are not, themselves, well defined.
In as much as they be complimentary improvements to offset the impact of development are welcome the wording is vague as to how these will be achieved, whether at the site it- self or elsewhere. The risk is that such ambitions will fall foul of viability tests and little will actually be done to improve the Green Belt beyond the new site boundary.
