We support the Council's Preferred Option, as set out in Paragraph 9.14, which supports both market and affordable housing to meet local needs in all of its villages/hamlets. We support the recognition that the scale of need would not be limited by the Core Strategy but must be related to local needs and demonstrate it can strengthen the viability of rural services in order to reduce the need to travel. However, we would suggest that the Core Strategy could provide some guidance on which locations are likely to be preferable if they, for example, have high quality public transport links.
