Object to allowing market housing in villages and hamlets, but support policy for affordable
housing restricted in perpetuity to residents who have grown up in the area. Support a policy which positively encourages provision of jobs in rural communities.
Will become less desirable to live in
countryside as petrol costs rise and value of rural property declines and therefore become more affordable for local people.
Concerned there is no policy included to ensure that enough agricultural land is protected to ensure the country and district can feed itself in future
