4.6
Object: The term 'brownfield' should be replaced with the term previously developed land, as defined in the NPPF.

4.8
Comment: Sites should be released in phases to prevent the potentially unnecessary destruction of greenfield sites through developers choosing to develop the easy and cheaper sites first and leaving appropriate urban sites undeveloped.

4.11
Comment: Accessible high-quality greenspace is important to local communities, as demonstrated in lockdown and in scientific research. Investment is required to ensure this and so public open space should be included in the list of infrastructure investment that will be required to support development.
