Though I except the council have to follow the NPPF, I believe the council should be mindful when identifying small sites that they still protect heritage, and don't just decide to take the land as its available. Church End in Kempston Rural is one good example, where the negative impact if development were to happen greatly exceeds any benefit in adding to the housing numbers. The council have a responsibility to protect such sites for generations to come.
