The short answer to this question is 'no'. The deficiencies stem firstly from a flawed approach to calculating housing supply over the plan period, and then from an approach to reviewing potential housing sites that is beset by weaknesses.
Generally support approach in Step 1 of prioritising brownfield, accessible and Green Belt locations.
Do not support allocating colour status to each site. Summary explanation does not agree with diagram, as some yellow sites become red rather than amber. Text should be updated to reflect diagram.
No guidance on how factors for and against are weighted/ranked.
Green Belt issues should be considered in totality, and not piecemeal, i.e. the extent to which individual sites contribute to the purposes of the Green Belt.
