Your consultation questionnaire makes no mention of brown field sites. Whilst accepting that it will cost more in a substantial number of cases to refresh these sites, it’s also absolutely clear that once permission to develop agricultural land has been given, it will never be returned to that purpose. We may need more housing but we also need agricultural land to afford us food security. Your suggested proposals in the Land Availability Assessment at sites A1, A2 and C1 are such locations. Repurpose brown field sites for this purpose. CPRE’s research indicates that there is enough brown field land for 1m homes in this Country.
