We do not believe that all the sites proposed to be allocated in the Primary and Secondary Service Villages, will be found to be available or deliverable. The process has failed to examine whether other limited infill villages might benefit from modest further development.

We cite the example of Rowington Green where a further limited amount of residential development - beyond the suggested one or two dwellings set out in the policy - would meet the wider identified needs of the community. The strong locational synergy between Kingswood and Rowington would mean that release of this site at Rowington Green would either take the place of at least one of the sites
identified at Kingswood to fulfil the number of dwellings required in that settlement (100-150) of which sites for only 62 were originally designated, now reduced to 43, or contribute additional housing to the total provision being sought by the Council in rural areas.
