The RED/AMBER/GREEN classification of site characteristics is flawed. RED is used by the Council to represent ‘Impossible to Achieve’ and Green seems to represent ‘Certainty or No Barrier to Achievement’. All Other Options are represented by an AMBER rating taking no account of Viability, Risk, Timescales or Cost to Achieve. Therefore virtually all are classified as AMBER.
This leaves the ‘evidence based’ claims and the applied process unsound. Classification of suitable sites is dictated exclusively by subjective personal ‘judgement’ and Confirmation Bias on the part of Planners.
The Strategic Transport and Education Assessment scoring and HELAA model are therefore unsound.
