Representation Summary:

Loss of BMV has not been properly evidenced. Development on brownfield land should be prioritised.
If it is demonstrated that loss of BMV has been evidenced and justified, yield should be optimised and an uplift made in affordable housing provision.
In accordance with the National Design Code ranges of 60-120dph should be applied. Once greenfields are built out they are no longer rural areas, so densities should reflect those of built-up areas.
Query delivery within the plan period and effectiveness of multi-functional landscape corridors.
