I strongly believe that owners of unoccupied residents should be heavily penalized, and if when left empty for a long time (? 12 months) without occupation they should be compulsory purchased. If this were done it would go well toward the housing needs up to 2030. Make selfish house owners pay!! Or let or sell their property.
Q1: Yes - It seems very comprehensive.
Q2: Yes.
Q3: Yes - I think the Dunton Village is appropriate together with planned development shown on pages 192 to 197. I agree that the development of any existing village housing is to be in small packages (no more than 10).
Q4: Dunton Village.
Q5: Yes.
Q6: No I don't think its appropriate in anything other than small packages (no more than 10). In Blackmore any development as proposed by 2 applicants for anything up to 90 + 60 residents is ridiculously excessive.
Q7: Yes.
Q8: Yes.
Q9: No.
