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
My initial response to option B was positive however on closer reading of relevant documents it appears that this route could undermine the democratic process currently in place by circumventing local authority control over planning. I am concerned about the possibility of powerful landowners being able to exploit such a process particularly with the introduction of the principle of presumption in favour of development.
