Area has two conflicting characteristics: Charm of its surrounding landscapes and on the other hand, the constraints consequent upon its location between major infrastructure network - plan does not address these factors. Brownfield sites should be prioritised for development - greater focus needed on sustainability and protection of natural resources. Job creation envisaged is minimal, unlike the consumption of rural space for businesses. Negative impact on infrastructure.
