HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ON SMALL SITES
3.26 – 3.28:
We believe that this section is a missed opportunity. While there is a good correlation between windfall and an adequate small sites delivery there is no good reason not to increase the target for small sites for the reasons set out in para 3.26. It would fit with the clear support in many villages for organic growth to meet local needs. We believe not merely that there should be a greater emphasis on small sites as defined but there should be positive encouragement for smaller sites that while exceeding one hectare still meet the criteria in para 3.26.
