Respondent: Kinver Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group

The strategy sounds plausible but is being applied in ways which defeat its intention.
Villages are described as having services, when these may be very limited.
In the case of Kinver, the lack of services, (no public transport usable to commute to work; inadequate health services; no leisure centre; no large supermarket etc) means car ownership is essential, defeating the aim of 'placing housing close to services and infrastructure'. There could be alternative locations closer to amenities and centres of work (e.g. at the edge of South Staffs) but are missed by the policy's inflexibility.
