Representation Summary:

Support especially for directing growth to most sustainable locations, whilst accepting very limited growth in less sustainable areas. Understand approach of directing growth to Tier 1 settlements but Council should consider alternative rural locations for development where suitable to ensure that rural needs are met and required affordable housing provision is delivered.
Support for inclusion of strategic development sites, but should consider a more flexible approach. If enough affordable homes are to be delivered, Council should assess proposals on case by case basis, affordable housing may have to be located in range of locations. Small sites just as important to (affordable) housing delivery and can be delivered much quicker.
