Insufficient housing land provided, more Green Belt release required, or at least provide safeguarded sites.
Too many large sites in too few areas have been proposed, contrary to Government's commitment to delivery across range of site sizes.
Will result in disproportionate pressure on services and facilities, and community cohesion.
Better to distribute housing across Borough, particularly close to public transport.
Many proposed sites will result in displacement of community facilities, e.g. sport pitches. VSC for outdoor sport and recreation in Green Belt would be difficult to prove if alternative GB sites available that do not require loss of such facilities.
