Supports the broad location of development and the changes made since the June 2012 consultation concentrating development outside the green belt. However questions balance of development on green belt and non greenbelt land outside of the main allocations. Less development should be allocated to more sensitive parts of the district such as the primary service centres at Cubbington, Hampton Magna and Lapworth and should be removed from secondary service centres in the green belt. The allocation of new housing should be increased in Primary Service Centres outside the green belt. It is suggested that the allocation for Radford Semele is increased to approximately 200 to 250. The area on the south west edge of the existing settlement is a sustainable and appropriate location for housing and represents a logical rounding off of the existing area and would not reduce the existing gap with Sydenham. This is supported by the principles of the Richard Morrish Associates report. To ensure the continued separation of Radford Semele and Sydenham the remaining 27 hectares of this land could be made available as open space to be permanently managed as a settlement gap.
