Support in part

Although I support the proposition that in Small Villages, Hamlets & Open Countryside, no sites should be allocated for houses & employment in the Land allocations document, I do think that small scale development on R445 to meet a demonstrable local need would be acceptable.

In the current economic climate, a shorter timescale has to be sensible since it gives an earlier opportunity for a change in policy.
Please indicate which of the options for the future housing and employment land needs of small villages, hamlets and open countryside you would support.
Option B - Communities and/or developers bringing forward sites for housing and employment for consideration under relevant Core Strategy policies, through neighbourhood plans and/or other local initiatives
Please explain your reasons/add your comments below
Small vilages & hamlets need to stay small and open countryside needs to stay open. These are valuable resources which, once built on, are lost for all time. Development should only be considered where there is a demonstrable local need.
