Significant inconsistencies in application of site selection methodology.
Sustainability analysis does not meet NPPF criteria, in Para. 3.32.
Assessment excludes some of smaller sites from the sustainability appraisal.
Smaller sites need to be reconsidered that have not been allocated as they could provide more sensitive development.

Object to site 3.
Site is unsustainable for many reasons.
Particular concern over ecological impact of developing site, in an area of high habitat distinctiveness.
Too much focus on biodiversity offsetting.
There are other smaller sites with a higher sustainability scoring and a lesser ecological value.

Opppose to removal of washed over designation because it is useful in restricting the scale and density of redevelopment in Green Belt areas surrounding large towns and cities.
In the area east of Balsall Common, removal of Green Belt status proposed for land south of Old Waste Lane and Waste Lane will remove the current level of control over development. This would result in unstructured, random development as individual sites are promoted for development.
