We would expect a robust sustainability assessment be made of all potential sites to identify sites of least negative impact.
However, prioritisation of one or two specific areas would lead to major disruption and an extreme impact on the local population, so would not be appropriate. It would also increase transport requirements and costs and put additional pressure on the road network, already close to breaking point in some areas.
We think this idea would meet with very hostile reception locally and would be politically unjustifiable.
