Object to removal of the PDL target. Allowing multi-site development across the entire Northern Fringe and removing the PDL target will result in new homes built on greenfield land at the Northern Fringe as it will be cheaper and easier for developers to do so compared with brownfield land. This will limit the regeneration of the town, especially the town centre, which is undesirable. We suggest a target/a small number of time dependent targets for PDL reinstated to ensure regeneration sites are prioritised over greenfield sites. We fail to see how the current Policy will "focus development on PDL first".
