Representation Summary:
MPC are keen that planners ensure that developments put forward provide a range of housing types as there is a dearth of smaller affordable properties which will allow local first time buyers or older residents to continue to inhabit the village. The ability to be residentially mobile within the village is contributory to retaining a community 'feel' and identity.

The temptation to allow developers to build high density estates should also be avoided .
