With regard to brownfield sites, preparation of criteria based policy as part of the Local Plan will ensure that a robust approach to housing sites in the Green Belt is created. The new Local Plan also needs to allocate brownfield sites that are currently available for development - the two approaches need to run in parallel in order to ensure that the openness of the Green Belt is protected at the same time as the borough identifies sufficient sites to meet its housing need.
The Council should consider as part of the allocation of sites for residential use, the environmental and social benefits of redeveloping non-compliant and un-neighbourly industrial uses that cause harm to the Green Belt.
