Step 2 refinement is contrary to NPPF. Not appropriate to introduce physical boundaries in otherwise open green belt areas. Methodology should set out preferred criteria for defining clear defensible boundaries. Some red sites ruled out due to lack of defensible boundaries, whilst some sites rated green have caveat that physical boundaries will be created. Methodology not consistently and logically applied across all sites.
Absence of evidence eg more detailed studies following Strategic Growth Study/Landscape Character Assessment.
Contend that despite use of Standard Methodology based on 2014
household projections, there is still no signed Statement of Common Ground,
(contrary to NPPF),
