I think the methodology is lacking as there is no reference to the assessment of infrastructure needs, road improvements, traffic issues etc. in the assessment of sites. Infrastructure improvements needed for some sites may be significant, and have themselves land issues, It is not sufficient for the infrastructure improvement needs to be ignored at this stage and left for later assessment when sites may already be on the 'most suitable ' list. Infrastructure needs, road improvements, traffic issues should be dealt with and identified upfront when selecting sites as potential sites to take forward.
