We support this approach but unfortunately the CS will not deliver these aims. By allowing multiple starts across the entire Northern Fringe for housing development and removing the target to develop brownfield sites there will be a major detrimental impact on regeneration of brownfield sites in deprived areas. Developers will focus on new housing on greenfield sites as it is cheaper and easier for them to do so. Clearly the priority should be to develop brownfield sites, especially those in more deprived areas, which is a far more sustainable approach. As drafted the CS will fail to regenerate such areas.
