See my previous comments for this site - this is a larger area and my concerns all apply in greater force.

It is better to concentrate on deliverable sites to avoid uncertainty in respect of other areas of land which may not be brought forward. It will also allow for a re-appraisal in the light of changing circumstances.

I have not chosen a particular option as both may be appropriate in different circumstances. On the one hand there may be sites which could be allocated now if there was no harm to the character and appearance of the settlement; but this option should not close the door to other sites which may be brought forward by communities, developers or individuals.
There should always be scope for allowing windfall sites which are appropriate in their setting - there will be many cases such as that at Raw Green, New Hutton, where small scale infill development can deliver valuable additional housing units without compromising the character of the hamlet.,
