This is a crucial policy and very much wanted by the community to retain its identity as a village. Although I understand a policy cannot stop development this area does provides a small space between Radford Semele and surrounding towns keeping Radford Semele's village identity. To loose this identity would be very harmful to the community. Consequently, whilst not stopping development any new development must be very small in nature and needed by the community. If minor or larger developements of say 6 or more were to be approved the gap would soon be erroded either through a single development or creapage.
