Developing brownfield land must take priority over Green Belt expansion to prevent irreversible damage to open landscapes. National policies emphasize the importance of protecting undeveloped land to prevent urban sprawl and maintain natural green spaces. Brownfield sites provide an opportunity for renewal, utilising existing infrastructure while ensuring housing needs are met without environmental harm. Prioritising regeneration over expansion ensures growth happens responsibly, avoiding the loss of valuable countryside. This approach aligns with sustainable planning principles, ensuring that development supports urban renewal, preserves the character of the area, and minimizes its impact on nature and local communities.

Must develop Brownfield sites before any greenfield site is considered.
There is no need to build on the Green Belt when better alternatives exist. Even if all brownfield sites are used, there are still enough non-Green Belt areas available to meet housing demand.
Any review of Green Belt land must carefully consider its value—not just in preventing urban sprawl but also in stopping Kenilworth from expanding unchecked into the countryside, closing gaps between villages, and protecting the openness, biodiversity, and character of the landscape.
I strongly oppose any development on Green Belt land—once it’s gone, it’s gone forever.

Brown Field must be the 1st choice for residential and light commercial development. Developers and planners need to be forced into creating and delivering solutions where Brown Field (former commercial or old/obsolescent housing) land can be re-used.

Yes! This should absolutely be prioritised to avoid using green belt land. Also, brownfield sites are usually close to local amenities and have existing infrastructure, making them sustainable and enabling 20-minute neighbourhoods.

Gladman support the delivery of brownfield development sites. However, the Councils should be mindful that these sites are not without complication. They can typically incur high development costs and therefore are not always viable. This can in turn impact affordable housing provision and the provision of other community benefits that greenfield sites can typically deliver without significant issue.

This a appropriate in "some" circumstances; but should not be used as an excuse to re-purpose land already in use (just earning less value than property) or is partially brownfield, and would be better left as is, or re-wilding (such airfeilds)

Full use should be made of brownfield land in suitable locations in line with national policy. However, given the scale of need identified, it can only play a small part in meeting the requirement and greenfield sites will be required to deliver the Vision in relation to infrastructure and affordable homes.

Given that significant parts of the districts are rural in nature the proposed tiered approach to Brownfield Land disadvantages rurally located sites such as Claybank Farm, and fails to consider the implications of the “Grey Belt” factor.

I agree with Draft Policy Direction 9 but believe it needs stronger commitments to prioritising brownfield land over Green Belt development. While the plan encourages brownfield use, it does not guarantee all suitable sites will be utilised before considering Green Belt release. Stronger policy wording is needed to ensure brownfield land is the first priority. Additionally, funding and infrastructure improvements must support urban regeneration, as remediation costs can make brownfield development less viable. The policy should explicitly commit to brownfield-first development, secure investment for regeneration, and ensure infrastructure is in place to support sustainable redevelopment before considering Green Belt.

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.

Urban brownfield development is one thing, that of rural land, another.Whilst the need to travel in urban areas can be facilitated by transport modes such as bus and rail services, these are less available in rural areas such as along Marston, for example, where reliance on private motor vehicle for work, leisure and other service related journeys, underlines the fact that there is no transport sustainability for further development of the Meon Vale and Airfield sites.
