Representation Summary:

Policy AD40 Village Open Spaces and Views stems from the 2002 Local Plan (paragraph 5.49) and needs updating.
The last review is dated July 2013 but relied on a survey that took place between July and December 2009.
The link between the more recent policy 45 Local Green Space and the much older policy AD40 Village Open Space and Views requires clarification.
This 20 year old retained policy AD 40 now needs to be examined for soundness against a date of 2040. The physical and social landscape has changed over those 20 years and current relevance of this policy needs to be reviewed.
