As with Policy NM5, this policy seeks to promote a brownfield first approach to development in New Milton and minimise the need for further greenbelt release by NFDC as part of the emerging new Local Plan.
These sites are all located within the defined town of New Milton (Policy NM1) but outside of the Town Centre (Policy NM5)
A site assessment report can be found in Appendix B.
