P33 - 39 – Housing development outside of 2/3mile school walking catchments may increase strain on the public purse through provision of extra education costs, that may not be sustainable. SSDC should consider whether growth in such areas is sustainable. Detailed comments are provided setting out where likely school capacity improvements would be required to address school place capacity issues as a result of new development.
P51 – The 5 tier classification is appropriate to achieve the necessary housing and employment growth in the District. Additional landscape enhancement could offset the additional road travel resulting from expanding Tier 1 & 2 settlements. A strategic plan to enhance the setting of roads through tree and woodland planting would help to integrate new development into the changing landscape. The plan should support the significant changes the farmed landscape is likely to undergo during the plan period.
