The spatial strategy for housing provides a very low level of growth to Tier 4 and Tier 5 settlements (at 0.3% and 2.6% of the total level of housing respectively).
Such a level of growth in Tier 4 and 5 settlements is considered to be inappropriateas it fails to recognise the sustainability of these settlements, their ability to
accommodate growth or the need for growth in these settlements to meet the Plan’s objectives of providing housing to meet the needs of different groups in the
community or to protect and enhance sustainable village centres.
Highlights errors with the scoring of settlements in
Appendix 4 of the Rural Services and Facilities Audit including that Weston-under-Lizard has a bus service and Blyhill village hall has a number of uses.
We would also stress enabling rural communities to become more sustainable and thive as living and working communities requires investment from both public and private sources. Sensitively designed development that reflects the needs of the local community, and contributes towards much needed infrastructure and homes for local people has an important role to play in reinvigorating rural communities.
Accordingly Policy DS5 should take a more permissive
approach to rural housing to rebalance rural communities.

Policy DS1 makes no reference to limited infilling, this is not consistent with National Policy, specifically Paragraph 154. Policy DS1 should include limited infilling in
villages which would enable tier 4 and tier 5 villages to receive some level of growth to support and enhance community facilities and services in these settlements. HC2 also omits infilling from tier 4 and 5, this is inconsistent with the rural maintain and enhance principles contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
Tier 4 and tier 5 villages should be allocated growth where they would not give rise to the ‘high’ or ‘very high’ levels of harm.
Such a change would plan positively for the provision of housing sites of less than one hectare, contribute in delivering the housing requirement, meets the needs and contributes to the sustainability of lower tier settlements and is justified in releasing land from the Green Belt.

LATE - Bradford Estates support this policy, it enables sustainable economic growth in rural areas whilst utilising buildings which would otherwise lie redundant. The policy fully acknowledges that certain businesses cannot be accommodated within village boundaries and therefore provides opportunity to rural businesses to thrive in
existing buildings.

LATE - Bradford Estates support this policy. The policy acknowledges that there can be a need for tourism outside of development boundaries and this fluidity, will allow for
small-scale tourism to reach rural areas which it otherwise would not.
