The numbers included at para 85 are inconsistent with the Arden Cross Masterplan, which supersedes the 2018 Hub Framework Plan.

Para 89 states that 500 homes will come forward at Arden Cross in the plan period, which is an inadequate contribution to the Housing Market Area.

No detail is given around the prospectus for a Garden City Approach (2014) referenced at para 92.

Para 94 bullet point 11- the principle of main roads providing strong defensible Green Belt is correct, however this is not applied to other sites (BL2 and BL3).

Para 96- forecasts of 18 million passenger journeys per year are unlikely due to the impact of COVID-19 and the climate emergency. Forecasts for airport activity are unclear.

Para 98- clarity on where the Council has asserted the airport should be supported to maximise the capacity and capability of the existing extended runway, by accommodating such ancillary facilities within Site UK2.

Para 103 - the NEC could contribute to the sustainability goals as it has significant amounts of roof space that would allow for photovoltaic cells.

The Household Waste and Recycling Centre and Council Depot (Policy P12) referenced in para 105 has not been consulted on.
