The proposed development would make a positive contribution to the provision of market and affordable housing in the area. The proposal would also add to the range of housing sites available in the locality, providing flexibility and a wider choice of development opportunities to the market, and thus strengthening the local supply of housing land. By providing sufficient land of the right type in the right place to support growth, the development would address the economic dimension of sustainable development, as defined in the NPPF.
We consider this form of development should be considered as part of the draft allocation for this village, led by the green credentials of the locality, given its close proximity to the school. It would result in tangible benefits for the community and provide housing in a holistic and sustainable way in order to create a vibrant and resilient community.
We agree with the allocation of the site. However, we believe an additional policy element should be added to allow for an extension to the proposed boundary to allow for a more comprehensive area of tree belt and open space to the south and west of the site.
