The draft policy is supported, since it is consistent with the advice given in the NPPF (14) which supports a prosperous rural economy and the need to retain and develop local services and community facilities in villages, and (55) which advises that, to promote sustainable development in rural areas, housing should be located where it will enhance or maintain the vitality of rural communities.

The draft policy is supported as being consistent with the advice given in the NPPF. The overall strategy for villages aims to focus limited new housing development on the more sustainable villages, whilst recognising that smaller less sustainable villages may also benefit from limited housing growth.

Supports allocation of between 100-150 houses to each 5 identified Primary Service Villages. Where villages are currently washed over by green belt, as is the case with Lapworth, new village envelopes will be established to enable development to take place.

The concentration of the main housing development in villages which score highest for settlement sustainability, and the increase in their proposed allocations to 100-150 is supported as being entirely consistent with the advice given in the NPPF

Sets out planning justification for and request that land at Station Lane be allocated for housing development and be
included within an expanded village envelope for Lapworth to accommodate the housing development proposed in the RDS.
