The settlement hierarchy sets out where the next developments are needed based on sound planning evidence. It therefore also sets out where development is not as needed and therefore should be protected. From a personal perspective in my local area there has been a huge amount of building taking place on green field sites. To quantify this within a 1 mile radius there have been over 500 houses built with more still planned. This has been within the last 5 years. This leaves an impression that the area has taken on more than it's fair share of additional development and lost much of the open green countryside that it had until recently. This is at the detriment of the existing residents.
