Paragraph 2.10 has correctly identified the key village housing issues. Support their understanding of these problems and their recognition of a need to direct new housing to a range of more sustainable villages:
-The shortage of housing for older people to allow them to downsize into accommodation which will meet their longer term needs and allow them to remain in their home settlements and
-Shortage of smaller homes for local families to buy/rent results in an aging population which reduces support for the local services/facilities.
-Shortage of larger family homes because older residents cannot downsize to free up large dwellings.

-It is recognised that some of the Green Belt villages have substantial environmental and development restrictions leading to a reduction in the housing numbers for those villages.

-The National Planning Policy Framework recognises that some development in the Green Belt is appropriate and more particularly that development within existing settlements is not harmful to the overall purpose of the Green Belt and indeed can be helpful in ensuring the sustainability of rural settlements. In the light of this it is appropriate for the more sustainable villages in the Green Belt to be removed from the Green Belt through the establishment of village boundaries. We therefore support paragraph 6.6.

-Site 5 has been discounted for development due to its alleged poor access and elevation. Land around Site 5 does not appear to have been considered either in the Village Housing Options report or properly in the SHLAA. Object to these exclusions and request that land around Bungalow Farm be allocated for development in the Village Housing Options paper.
-Land was considered in the 2012 SHLAA which concluded it was unsuitable for development as it would 'lack cohesion' with the existing settlements.
-Revised submission showing the correct boundary submitted during the 2012 Preferred Option but was not considered.

-In Cubbington, WDC have failed to assess one parcel of land which was promoted for development. That land being adjacent to Site 5:
-It is not open and highly visible in the Green Belt.
-Development could occur without coalescence between Cubbington and Lillington
-It is not of high ecological value.
-The land can be appropriately developed without harm to the wider landscape.
