Site Selection Methodology (see also Topic Paper):
- Raised concerns previously and these have not been addressed
- Step 1 – Hierarchy criteria does not align with NPPF Para. 138, and preferring Green Belt sites well served by public transport
- Site Hierarchy should reference land well served by public transport
- Step 2 of refinement criteria (p.14 Topic Paper) do not include sites well served by public transport as ‘factors in favour’. Therefore not accord with NPPF.
Site selection methodology should be amended should be amended to align with the recommendations within the NPPF.
