The identification of brownfield/grey belt sites needs to be assessed, also a Green Belt review should reconsider the Green Belt boundaries in key settlements to facilitate sustainable growth whilst balancing the five key tests of Green Belt policy as defined in the NPPF.

YEs We believe that Option C is the best of the four options, with more development around settlements with train stations, including Frodsham, where this will positive enhanced shift in transit modes The policy around focusing development around transport hubs and station is critically important.

More information on housing numbers for specific smaller settlements, at the moment it is a vague and will be subject to interpretation and lead to ineffective planning.

Growth also need to be considered in the settlement boundary at this early stage seems to be little analysis of brownfield capacity along transit routes (Option C).

No allowance has been made to understand the urban capacity within the settlement before consideration of new growth areas. Many of the sites in the Neighbourhood Plan are not going to come forward and not deliver the quantum of homes required.

There should be more recognition of each document (Chester Gateway Regeneration) as a material consideration that should be read in conjunction with the Local Plan (new).
