There is insufficient provision or access to services in many of the settlements within the “village clusters”, in particular from many of the preferred sites for new housing. The decision to allocate additional new housing beyond what is already allocated within the JCS is largely based on the existence of a primary school with available places or potential for expansion, for some clusters this is not the case with schools at or near capacity. This does not amount to the provision of ‘good access to services and facilities’ this level of new housing should not be permitted within the GNLP.
This village does not have the infrastructure and facilities to cope. Truly affordable housing should be concentrated in urban areas.
Development should utilise brownfield sites first, not greenfield with the further loss of agricultural land required for food production.
