Based on AMEC's experience of undertaking similar work on behalf of landowners and local authorities, we consider that the site selection process and methodology, which has been has been developed by WDC for appraising village site options, is appropriate, suitably thorough and robust. Similarly, based on our own experience of undertaking objective Green
Belt appraisal work for other local authorities, we consider the approach adopted in the Green Belt study to be sound and the key findings robust. AMEC also supports the District Council's decision to limit options for growth, notably in and around the villages of Barford, Bishop's Tachbrook and Radford Semele, based on the research findings relating to the 'environmental limits' of developing in non-Green Belt areas.
