This objective should be strengthened by replacing current Critical Success Factor with:
'Residential development will not be permitted on greenfield sites within the Borough until all previously developed (brownfield) land and empty properties have been brought back into use.'

60% of Residential development on previously developed land - continued "garden-grabbing" is in danger of changing the character of large parts of the Borough. Industrial brownfield should be exhausted before any more over development in back gardens.

SMPCT supports this objective, which is consistent with national guidance. However with housing numbers, the 60% target should be seens as a minimum. SMPCT would expect the Council to achieve a level well above this target given the average over the last 7 years (200-07) has been 72% (Table 6 - 2006/07 AMR)

The rate of development on previously developed land should be higher. And Greenfield sites should not be put forward for development until all brownfield sites have been fully utilised. Otherwise, developers will hold onto the hard to develop brown field sites, stalling development, until greenfield sites are released, thus giving the developer greater profile due to their easier development nature.

Prioritise the use of previously developed land unless the conservation and amenity value is of substantive local interest.
The redevelopment of previously developed land makes a major contribution to sustainable development by reducing the amount of countryside & undeveloped land to be used. However these sites can be of high biodiversity value (PPS9, paragraph13)
Disused allotments, cemeteries & other green spaces within built up environments often provide an important refuge for wildlife & can significantly add to quality of life. These sorts of urban green spaces should not be targeted for development without a prior survey of their biodiversity & recreational potential

We are pleased to note that open spaces such as disused allotments, cemeteries, and other green spaces within the built up environment will be identified in site Allocations Development Plan Document & that they are identified in Preferred Approach 40 as areas which will be protected from development detrimental to their character or biodiversity interest.

60% on brownfield sites - cannot be achieved see HBC figures.

The use of critical success factors provides further detail to the objectives. However in some cases it is difficult to determine what local dimension they add to national guidance. For example objective 4 repeats national guidance & the Critical success factor is almost identical to the wording of Preferred Approach 2. Strategic objectives should be locally distinctive about what the strategy is going to deliver.

Critical success factors - Many of these seem to stray into the teritory of policy or proposals which could be seen as prejudicing aspects of the strategy.
