Policy BC6 is not considered justified or effective. Query designation of entire site as brownfield. Site performs important role in relation to Green Belt impact, is highly performing in Green Belt Assessment, and would result in unrestricted sprawl. Incorrectly categorised as 3 green in site hierarchy. Should not rely on HS2 line as this has not yet been built. Performs poorly in Sustainability Appraisal. Remote from settlement with a railway barrier, poor pedestrian links and heritage constraints. If site considered suitable for C2 use then other sites are as well
