Policy 5.1 could be suitable to deliver appropriate development within larger villages only if additional sites were allocated for housing in these locations within the local plan.
The current proposals, which limit development in otherwise suitable locations due to the current Green Belt boundaries, are considered to be too restrictive and inflexible to help meet the housing needs of the Borough and restrict the ability of larger villages to grow to meet their population requirements.
Land such as land at Salmonds Farm, Ingrave, [Site Ref. 067A & B], should be allocated as a suitable site fordevelopment, which is able to fulfil the policy expectations set out in Policy 5.1. In combination with the reliance on Windfall sites and the Dunton Garden Village, it is perverse that the Council has not allocated larger villages for a greater quantum of development where sites have been assessed as being suitable, available and achievable.
