Residential development should be focused in sustainable locations, i.e. within the urban areas with the ‘20 Minute Neighbourhood’ approach applied. Existing urban areas should be the focus of new development (e.g. residential employment, services) to promote sustainable, efficient resource use.
Whilst village/rural development can help sustain rural communities, it must be accepted that these communities rely on roads to connect them to services/opportunities elsewhere: to accommodate this pattern of living is comparatively costly and very unsustainable. Rural areas should predominantly be restricted to rurally appoate development uses.
