Q-B2 We would agree that there is little merit in this policy being retained if it requires a collaborative approach with neighbouring authorities who are minded to not carry the designation forward. Q-B10 Whilst we agree that biodiversity is a key element and should be a consideration for any form of development, it should not result in schemes becoming unviable or hindering the District in being able to meet the inherent need to development for any use that is required.

Call for Sites Information To accompany the sites submission in the Call for Sites event, we would like to take this opportunity to highlight the significant benefits that would be delivered by the proposed development of two dwellings on this site, which are as follows: • Utilises a Previously Developed Site. • Reduces the spread of buildings on the site. • Reduce the footprint of built form on site. • Well related to existing dwellings • Forms part of the existing built form of Long Marston. • Located in a sustainable settlement • Provide short-term delivery of housing, increasing the local housing stock. • Established existing access. • Provision of much required equestrian facilities to support the dwellings. • High-quality and sensitive design, that improves the visual appearance of the site. • Provides a local economic benefit during the construction phase and with the new residents. • Potential to reduce vehicle movements from the site. • Potential for biodiversity enhancements and improvements.
