Draft Policy Direction 9 explains that the Councils will make full use of suitable urban brownfield land before development is considered in other locations. While broadly supportive of this approach, we reiterate our comments made at Issues and Options consultation that the SW councils should be cautious to a brownfield led approach to development as it may hinder the delivery of affordable housing within the area. It is widely recognised that the development of brownfield land often has cost
implications that negatively impact the viability of delivering affordable homes at such sites.
