Respondent: Hempnall Parish Council

Hempnall Parish Council does not support the Village Clusters approach. It is misguided and damaging because it involves dispersing an unnecessary level of development into villages with very negative consequences for climate and landscape. Pursuing such a policy would result in significant loss of countryside and green spaces.
Furthermore we consider that the VCHAP is unnecessary because the Total Housing Potential suggested for the GNLP is too high (49,492) and if it were reduced to the level required to address local housing need, as assessed by the standard method i.e. 40,541 dwellings, then allocations in village clusters would not be needed.
