Notwithstanding our view that Site 2 is more suitable for development than the 'preferred option' site, in terms of development within Burton Green, rather than compete with the preferred development site, it is feasible that both sites could come forward to meet Burton Green's required need, which should be increased to address the overall under provision of housing within the District's villages and the net loss of dwellings resulting from HS2. The 'preferred option' site is located to the south of the settlement, whilst the Site is located to the north, as shown in plan 20612-SL-P-04. It is therefore considered that the possibility of allocating two sites in the village has the added benefit of providing a geographical spread; ensuring development is not focused on one area of the village, thereby avoiding problems such as associated vehicular movements for instance.
