Representation Summary:

The SHELAA 2021, GBHMA Strategic Growth Study and Self and Custom Build Register should be identified as part of the evidence base. Concerns also raised over the age of the Economic Development Needs Assessment.

Sustainability appraisal should consider Site 585 as an employment opportunity as well as residential-led. Site 585 should not be identified as a major negative due to Green Belt, as other landscape factors have lesser scores.

Green Belt study (parcel S32Es1) is flawed as it does not recognise the recent consent of WMI or its allocation, which would fundamentally change the baseline Green Belt score.
