In deciding upon which sites throughout the region will be developed, it is essential that all brownfield sites are used first before any further incursion into the Green Belt. It appears far too easy for councils or developers to find 'reasons' not to build on brownfield sites. Developers appear to want an easy ride, to be able to build, sell and leave as soon as possible and with the maximum profit. Builders should be required to develop a brownfield site before they are given permission to build elsewhere and an incentive to develop brownfield sites could be permission being granted for a choice site only when the brownfield sites have been developed.
