Rural Settlements Study Part 2
The Consultation on Strategy Directions indicates that built up area boundaries around towns and villages will be identified as part of the Housing Allocation DPD. While the Rural Settlement Study provides a comprehensive assessment of rural settlements to inform the list of settlements included in Box 17 (e), it goes too far in identifying the potential for housing development in each settlement. This is a matter for detailed consideration and public consultation as part of the Housing Allocations DPD and could prejudice the potential of other suitable housing sites being identified at that stage (either by revisions to settlement boundaries or by the allocation of suitable housing sites).
