The way in which new homes are to be distributed is unsatisfactory. 2,100 expected to be built on 'windfall' brownfield sites. We consider this brownfield figure, is much too low: unexpectedly high availability of such sites fuelled excessive rate of house-building before 2006. Brownfield sites intensifying existing urban development, are much more sustainable than greenfield. A reappraisal of their availability, led by a rigorous search for them should be carried out. This, with reduction in the total number of houses required would doubly reduce the number of houses for which greenfield sites would be required.
