It is welcomed that the Local Planning Authority have identified exceptional circumstances for Green Belt release within the plan area. It is considered however, that the LPA have not gone far enough in releasing Green Belt land to meet the demanding housing requirements for the Greater Cambridge area. It is considered that additional land should be identified in the rural area for moderate levels of Green Belt release to ensure that the viability of the rural areas within the plan area are protected and enhanced.
