The area to the North of the Borough incorporates a very different rural character, remote from the strategic rail and road routes previously mentioned. This area could not sustain the housing numbers required by the Council without significantly altering the character of existing villages. It is suggested that this part of the Borough is identified for smaller development, adjacent to the settlement boundaries that could perhaps help boost the provision of housing in the early years of the plan. It is clear that the likely size of these sites will be unable to contribute significantly towards infrastructure improvements in the Borough however with the provision of CIL they could still provide much needed resources.
