Representation Summary:

Paragraphs 3.11 to 3.13 - This policy should mention Neighbourhood Growth Areas and have equal importance with Strategic Centres and Core Regeneration Areas. A more balanced approach is needed in accordance with the vision and CSP1.
"the justification for the approach set out in CSP2, focusing growth solely in the Strategic Centres and Core Regeneration Areas" "The narrow focus set out in CSP2 also conflicts to an extent with paragraph 3.15 which acknowledges that Green Belt status should not be the sole criteria in assessing the suitability of a site’s ability to deliver sustainable development." "The justification to CSP2 actually highlights the failings of such a narrow
approach, in that it would only deliver housing on 'poor quality and underused land' which will not deliver a range of housing opportunity sites nor reflect the need to provide choice in both types of accommodation but also location."
