The policy to allocate all of the Northern Fringe for development at once is unsound. Brownfield should be preferred for development but there is no brownfield target for development. Both the stated policy to release such a large amount of greenfield land for development at once and no firm target for accompanying brownfield development is unsound environmentally. Also there is a risk that such a large amount of development will not be delivered in the timescale of the plan and may result in piecemeal delivery and which would have damaged the natural environment in the Northern Fringe.
