Representation Summary:

Delete "normally" and limit to circumstances where land is allocated for growth and shown on the proposals map.

Growth in the countryside that is not small scale should be identified on the proposals map as a site allocation.

The policy is unsound as "normally" is not quantifiable. There is no indication within the policy to indicate what circumstances could justify growth in the countryside which is not small scale. Departures "from the norm" could be occasional rather than exceptional.
