There are significant flaws in both the methodology and its application. The site selection process must be set in the context of the overall housing need and Spatial Strategy, neither of which have been updated for this consultation but should be in the light of new evidence.
In testing the appropriateness of sites, consideration must be given to the impact of new development on the physical, economic and social infrastructure of the settlement and on its character and distinctiveness. The methodology does not do so. There are also significant variations in the scoring assessments of sites which require justification.
