Oppose
Please explain your reasons/add your comments below
I oppose a reduction in the time span of the Land Allocations document.
An important reason for having a Local Plan/Local Development Framework and particularly the Land Allocation Document is to give confidence and permanance to the forward planning process.
For example, a person consulting the LDF will know that if an area is not designated for development, then development is very unlikely to happen in the life of the plan.
Personal decisions can then be taken e.g.regarding house purchase, with a degree of confidence.
If the time span is shortened, that confidence is reduced, and consequently the value of the LDF is diluted.
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 A - Allocating sites for houses and employment in the Land Allocations document
Please explain your reasons/add your comments below
I support option A.
I see no virtue in having what would amount to a two tier process, which is what option B effectively is.
