The NPPF does not place an obligation to allocate brownfield sites first.
Only part of the site is brownfield.
The site is not the most suitable or sustainable site for residential development.
Site is located on the sourther periphery of the village.
Majority of the village and community services located to the north of the village.

This allocation is not without its own constraints as identified in the Village Site Appraisal Matrix. Land at Cromwell Lane is more a preferable alternative and does not have the same constraints ad Burrow Hill site.

LanHS2 will divide a village which is already linear in composition, leaving any future occupants of properties on the preferred site feeling separated and disassociated with the village.
