Please indicate whether you support, support in part or oppose a reduction in the time span of the Land Allocations document
Oppose
Please explain your reasons/add your comments below
There appears to be no material effect of the proposed alteration.
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
Option B seems more aligned with current developments in local community trusts and localism legislation.
It is not practical for a centralised planning authority to give the ideal level of detailed consideration to the small developments which are appropriate in scale to small villages etc. However, even small developments can have a huge impact on the character of those communities. Therefore the the more those communities can be involved in the decision process the better.
