Whilst I agree that the development of new settlements is appropriate, as opposed to the dispersed approach, it is vital that the location(s) selected are suitable. The policy should specify that new settlements will only be permitted outside of the Green Belt. There is too much emphasis in the new settlements approach on rail corridors - aligning new settlements with existing rail stations is only valid if the stations concerned can cope with increased demand, are easily accessible with good road links and facilities can be improved. This is clearly not the case with a number of rural stations such as Hatton and Lapworth. The policy needs to be refined.
