Evidence lacking or flawed. No detailed landscape or ecological assessments. IDP not updated. No viability assessments. Green Belt Assessment not revisited to re-assess refined parcels to reflect additional green/amber sites.
Unclear how wider HMA shortfall contribution calculated, and figure not justified or agreed.
No feasibility work on recommendations of Strategic Growth Study. Full potential capacity of Borough for new housing not considered as potential in SGS not objectively tested in accordance with recommendations.
