Amendment should take place to include reference to 5 year land supply against OAN as well as against interim requirement i.e. "The Council is currently unable to demonstrate a five year supply against both its objectively assessed need for housing and its interim housing target ..."

The amended approach to Green Rims, whilst generally supported, requires further modification to make the intentions of the policy clear ("effective") as regards the manner in which the Green Rim is to be applied to development outside of the urban area.
It is suggested that the final sentence be amended as follows:
"Development beyond the existing built up area within the Green Rim should demonstrate how the proposals will contribute to the objectives of the Green Rim through the delivery of publically accessible and connected green space"
