Clause 4.4.7
Should be clearer whether these points are 'all or nothing requirements' or is there some flexibility for mix and match? In a small village where there's market housing demand and the required local support, a component of 'affordable housing' should be included.
Final bullet point is unlikely to be satisfied for a small village development of 3-8 units within a small village of approximately 50 houses and 100 in the entire parish and with no school, bus or shop. Additional residents might improve the social aspects of the community but the clearest gain would come if there was a community facilities payment from the development directly to the Parish Council to be used for community facilities, but otherwise this last bullet point should be deleted or relegated to an aspiration.
Clause 4.4.7
This should be made clearer as to whether the bullet points are an 'all or nothing requirement' or if there is some flexibility for mix and match. For instance, if there is a market housing demand for a small village which has the required local support, I would support the requirement that a component of 'affordable housing' is included.
The last bullet point is unlikely to be satisfied for a small village development of say 3 to 8 units within the context of a small village of say 50 houses and say 100 in the entire parish and with no school, bus or shop. The additional residents might marginally improve the social aspects of the community depending on the 'interests ' of the new residents. The clearest gain to the local community would come if there was a community facilities payment from the development of the market housing units directly to the Parish Council.. This could then be used for the benefit of community facilities, but otherwise this last bullet point should be deleted or relegated to an aspiration.
