This seems a clear and positive statement of goals, with balanced consideration of competing requirements. However, I would note that there are a very large number of typographical errors in the area of the statement relating to the environment (and only this area), which gives the impression, intentionally or otherwise, that this was given less attention than other sections (typos marked in square brackets):

It will meet the environmental objectives by the inclusion of [a] suite of policies design[ed] to protect, conserve and enhance it['s] environmental assets, by focusing development [on] its main urban areas and by investing in public transport infrastructure[,] in the process reducing the need to travel by car and reducing climate change emissions; and

It is also interesting that the aim is to maximise use of brownfield sites 'wherever possible' but that no 'wherever possible' pertains to minimising green field development.
