Policy HC6 is not clear as to how some of the exceptional circumstance criteria would apply. Exception (a) is not clear, as it does not consider a scenario where development is proposed inside the settlement boundary, therefore creating a potential reason for refusal by a policy that seeks to prevent sprawl outside the settlement, and consequently rejects development inside the settlement. This appears contradictory and should clarify its position on proposals inside the settlement.

We completely disagree with requirements to involve the Parish Council and a Rural Housing Enabler for a Rural Exception Site; as is clear from recent cases, if the Parish uphold their right to not engage with a developer, the policy cannot be met. It is true that many affordable housing providers also require the endorsement of the parish, which again, would preclude the ability to meet HC6 if a parish choose not to engage with the applicant, effectively holding the process to ransom. Policy HC6 should remove the unnecessary requirement to involve a parish and a Rural Housing Enabler as it is not in accordance with the NPPF or PPG – the parish council and Rural Housing Enabler are not the planning authority and should not be given the role of decision taker.

We agree with Policies HC10, HC11, HC12 & HC13, and the need to design visually attractive homes with high quality residential amenity, adequate internal space and correct parking provision. HC13 should however make clear at Appendix H (table 10) that the spaces requirement is a maximum.
