Policy should refer to a consultative rather than collaborate approach in involving Parish Council and Neighbourhood Plan Teams to ensure judgements are made on sound planning grounds rather than negative and over prescriptive views. Housing mix should refer to the wider area rather than just local housing need with regard to parishes and villages. It is unnecessarily prescriptive to indicate that sites of more than 50 houses need to be developed over more than 5 years.
This is not indicative of how sites tend to get developed and managed by developers and it should be more needs and market assessed to make sure that sites can be delivered in good time and comprehensively.
