Many of the sites in this area have been comprehensively reviewed in the new towns Strategic Environmental Assessment and have already been found to be strategically unsuitable for development on a number of grounds.

Furthermore, whilst I understand the need for development, every effort must be taken to protect our green belt and green spaces. We live amongst nature and green spaces are vital to local habitats and mental wellbeing.

"National policy changes place greater emphasis on delivering affordable housing, particularly those for social rent, and may require higher levels of affordable housing on sites released from the Green Belt" How utterly ridiculous. By nature, more affordable developments require reduced construction costs. Building on greenbelt, which is typically remote and underdeveloped, entails not only higher infrastructure costs but also higher living costs for residents. Surely, the use of brownfield sites makes greater sense for low-cost development.
