Representation Summary:
Figure 5.4 'Strategic Sites' box
I disagree with this placing of 'Strategic Sites' in the hierarchy and even more so with the explanation 'Larger scale development...'
Firstly strategic means much more than large scale and in its broader sense it could be a subset of each of the spatial categories 'Urban areas', 'Brownfield sites in Green Belt' and 'Greenfield sites in Green Belt' rather than a self standing category in the hierarchy. The hierarchy could be improved so that it is clear what is meant by strategic and how this would play out within the tree main boxes. In a sense this process has already been started for the latter box.
