whilst the release of brownfield land in the Green Belt and land on the edge of villages is considered (para 2.15), we are concerned that the Plan stops short of making explicit reference to the release of suitable greenfield Green Belt land on the edge of these existing settlements. Unsustainable for brownfield sites in isolated locations to be allocated for residential development simply because they are previously developed, the Interim Sustainability Appraisal concurs. The release of suitably located greenfield Green Belt land should be considered as another potential option in area (A)in which the SHLAA identifies brownfield capacity of only 1 dwelling (a site which is situated within the existing settlement boundary), yet there is an identified local need significantly in excess of this brownfield capacity.
