SNC must ensure the right number and mix of dwellings in addition to the Cluster Sites around primary schools. With electric vehicles coming on stream more and more, car pollution will be of reducing concern. Primary schools and their locations should not be to the exclusion of more windfall sites outside of these locations and settlement limits, where they are seen of benefit to the village. We appreciate that Affordable Housing is not included in the cap but the 3/5 windfall allocations are insufficient to offer the required choice in the buyer market and to inject the necessary village vitality.
The number of windfall dwellings for Bunwell (5), excluding Affordable Housing and some self build, is inadequate for the projected period.
It should be specifically stated that some flexibilty of Windfall Housing numbers will be considered where seen by the local parish council and local authority to be justified and required.
