Agree in principle but requires clarification in related areas of the emerging Local Plan. NECAAP is predicated on relocation of the WWTP to prime agricultural land in the Greenbelt at Honey Hill in contravention of this policy.
The proposed policy captures the importance of restricting development which could lead to the irreversible loss of the best agricultural land (Grades 1, 2 or 3a) and is reinforced by the concerns raised in response to the First Conversation, regarding carbon sequestration, biodiversity, and our ability to meet our food growing needs.
