The site selection methodology which is set out in the Topic Paper departs from national policy in relation to Green Belt. It does not first consider previously developed land and land well served by public transport, and it makes no reference to whether the loss of Green Belt can be offset through compensatory improvements to the remaining Green Belt. The implications of the Spatial Strategy and site selection methodology are that Green Belt sites that perform well in relation to national policy were not selected.
