One option for the requirement of affordable housing '...would be to lower the requirement to 30% given the current economic circumstances but to review this once the housing market were stronger..' This would be very difficult to administer in practice and would simply create a shortfall in affordable provision in the short term. There is no case for short-term change to the current accepted policy.

We note that the first paragraph of the proposed Preferred Vision for the District refers to the ...attractive rural landscape of open farmlands and parklands etc... We deplore the proposals which are an onslaught on so many hectares of this valuable and vital heritage.

We would like to see a statement that infrastructure will be provided at the time of occupation of a new development or beforehand. There have been too many instances in the past where this has not happened. Therefore we strongly support the Council's Preferred Option and, in particular, the commitment to adopt the Community Infrastructure Levy. Every development places a demand on the district-wide infrastructure.

Strongly support retention of existing Green Belt designations and their selective expansion where this would help deliver more sustainable patterns of development. Green Belt policy has been outstandingly successful in delivering prime objective of urban containment and is one of best understood and most popular planning measures with public. Green Belts provide access to open space for urban population - oppose any relaxation of green belt policy unless exceptional circumstances.
Any review of Green Belt designations should be based on clear understanding that such changes would promote all objectives of sustainable development. Any review should not undermine need to prevent urban coalescence or objectives of Green Belt.

We support the proposals; however we suggest the policy should also ensure sustainable waste management during the construction of every development
