No justification for predicted growth. No sound connection between aspirational growth and spatial plan. Development needs resulting from the presumed levels of growth do not take account of development activity and opportunity in neighbouring authorities. Does not take into account issues of climate change. No justified need for level of housing/employment anticipated by plan. No need for scale of Green Belt release. No provision for compensatory improvement to environmental quality and accessibility of land. No consideration for impact of development on congestion/pollution - proposed infrastructure does not deal with existing issues. Damaging to character and distinctiveness of area. Not sustainable and contrary to national policy. No clarity on means of delivery/funding. Concern over ability to deliver affordable housing.
