It is suggested that greenfield sites on the edge of villages should be released as small extensions to the settlements. These are better located to take advantage of existing utilities and services and would therefore be more sustainable. Brownfield sites in the Greenbelt may often be more isolated and less sustainable in the long term. These sites often provide sites for businesses which are less reliant on a sustainable location. The loss from economic use would have an adverse impact on the rural economy and jobs. Unless they are adjacent to a larger village with facilities and services, such sites should not be allocated for housing.
