Part of the vision referring to HS2 could be made more robust by reference to the Midlands region (East and West) rather than the "wider area". References to "managed growth" gives a misleading message about the Council's strategic objectives for major growth within the Borough, in particular, the UK Central Hub. The Council should consider rephrasing this to better reflect the spatial strategy. Suggested alternatives are "major sustainable growth" or "planned growth".
With regard to Green Belt, the Vision should reflect support for release of sustainable locations for growth and appropriate protection of other retained parts of the Green Belt.
