The following land, between the urban area and the Green Belt boundary, is safeguarded for meeting longer term housing development needs beyond the present Local Plan period.

Planning permission for permanent development of the land will not be granted until there has been a review of this Local Plan which proposes the development of one, or both, sites below. Until the land is required for development, there will be a presumption against development other than than normally allowed in the Green Belt:

Development of the Land at Barn Hall will depend on the provision of 22 hectares (54 acres) of public open space to the west of the site and within the District, together with landscaping and appropriate recreational facilities, to replace existing facilities on the safeguarded housing land and to provide for the needs of the new population. In addition, various off-site highway works will be required.

Development of the Dry Street site will depend upon the provision of open space and community facilities including a primary school, community centre, local shops and a health centre, together with off-site highway works.
