Representation Summary:

It is suggested that the ‘opportunities’ should include greater focus on the speed of delivery that greenfield sites can produce. As part of this, greenfield sites can have a major role to play in delivery as the sites are not restricted by the regeneration and remediation timescales and costs all too often linked to brownfield sites.
A further opportunity to highlight is the role that new homes in more rural settlements and villages can play in supporting and sustaining those villages and associated services. For instance, bus services, schools, village shops, pubs and local community groups.
