The number of houses proposed seems high and not enough credit has given to windfall sites or existing housing allocated sites in many of these settlements in the JCS.
New housing estates are unlikely to provide a boost to local services but more likely to put a strain on them. In addition they are likely to lead to increased vehicular journeys to access services not provided locally with consequent impact on climate change.
Many of the proposed sites a on the edge of settlements in land designated open countryside and the scale of some is out of proportion.
