Reasoned justification :
6.7 Strategic Guidance for Merseyside recognised that there are significant constraints to new housing development in much of Wirral, with its tight Green Belt, extensive areas of good agricultural land and sites of ecological importance. The allocations in Proposal HS1 support urban regeneration and keep the Green Belt intact.
6.8 Together with the outstanding commitments outlined in Figure 2, opposite, these allocations also support the wider aims of sustainable development and reduced energy usage in that they concentrate development within the urban area, minimise the use of previously undeveloped land and reduce the need to travel.
