A mixture of new houses should be provided in rural communities. Both affordable housing and smaller homes are needed to allow young families and older residents the opportunity to remain In their communities, in light of rising house prices; smaller market homes are also important as they provide the opportunity for older residents to move into smaller homes, freeing up larger houses for families. Affordable housing schemes should be provided with an element of open market housing to maintain a mixed community, where all needs are satisfied and where new affordable housing does not become stlgmatised.
