Natural England welcomes the inclusion of landscape capacity in the factors against in the refinement criteria.
We advocate allocations on land of least environmental and amenity value.
In particular they avoid:
* designated sites/priority habitats
* Best and Most Versatile (BMV) Agricultural Land
* areas at risk of flooding
* brownfield sites of high environmental value
