I agree with Draft Policy Direction 9 but believe it needs stronger commitments to prioritising brownfield land over Green Belt development. While the plan encourages brownfield use, it does not guarantee all suitable sites will be utilised before considering Green Belt release. Stronger policy wording is needed to ensure brownfield land is the first priority. Additionally, funding and infrastructure improvements must support urban regeneration, as remediation costs can make brownfield development less viable. The policy should explicitly commit to brownfield-first development, secure investment for regeneration, and ensure infrastructure is in place to support sustainable redevelopment before considering Green Belt.
