Support a framework for considering proposals for new development within villages as opposed to identifying specific requirements. However, there is a recognised local resistance to new developments in both villages and the countryside and those in most need of housing often lose out to organised minorities objecting to development.

More guidance should be given to how the Council will assess proposals for new development in the villages and countryside. Recognition should be given to the unique nature of urban fringe locations. Strategies must be flexible enough to allow for reasonable development in locations deemed acceptable.
