Draft Policy Direction 9's brownfield-first approach is supported as it promotes sustainable development and urban regeneration while protecting valuable greenfield land. This sequential approach ensures the most efficient use of land by prioritising previously developed sites before considering greenfield development. However, the policy needs to be explicit that greenfield sites should only be considered once all suitable brownfield options have been fully explored and exhausted. This provides a clear framework for development decisions while protecting our countryside.
