The development strategy should provide for new residential development within the rural areas. A clear settlement hierarchy should be defined which provides the basis for directing future development to sustainable locations. Some locations could be made sustainable through new development an planning gain through the plan period. The Council should consider dispersing development within the rural area to mitigate the impact of development in settlements in accordance with PPS7.
Flimwell could support new greenfield development, including affordable housing. Planning benefits could enhance the range of facilities and add to the settlement’s sustainability.
