2020-2025 is too far ahead and offers too much uncertainty for realistic planning. Therefore it is preferable to plan for a proportion of the original number of housing units over the shorter period to 2020, as suggested.
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

Development in the most rural areas needs to be planned on a micro-scale and with local knowledge of possible sites. Small developments which offer greatest chance for integrating the new residents into the community are preferable. Developments in small rural communities must have the support of the community. For all these reasons Option B is preferable.
