Representation Summary:

A C Lloyd is in general support of the approach set out in Policy H1 to directing new housing on the basis of the settlement hierarchy.

It is however considered that the subsequent explanation and linked policies to this do not allow this policy to be fully delivered. Specifically the policy states that it will direct new development to Growth Villages, but the later approach to this is limited solely to allocated sites. It is considered that new housing should not only be allowed on the sites shown on the Policies Map for the Growth Villages, but also on other suitable sites that can assist in meeting the District's housing requirements.

As set out in objections to Policy DS10, it is considered that there is a shortfall in housing provision proposed in this Plan and it is proposed that this shortfall can be accommodated via the Growth Villages. This is detailed further in the response to Policy H10.
