Brownfield sites should be developed before Green Belt. Development should be close to transport links and employment opportunities. Suitable infrastructure not in place to support development of this scale. Congestion/pollution already an issue in the area. Scale of development not justified - proposed no. of houses is higher than population growth forecasts suggests is necessary. More affordable housing needed - developers do not prioritise this. Plan is not deliverable and does not meet needs of area.
