Paragraphs 9.15 to 9.21
Paragraph 9.18 states that the Preferred Option for housing distribution in villages is composite of number of options, but primary focus on Service Centres, as well as taking account of local need, dispersed development and accessibility, as well as environmental constraints.
PPS7 makes clear that away from larger urban areas, LPAs should focus most new development in or near to Local Services Centres where employment, housing, services and other facilities can be provided close together. It notes that this should help ensure those facilities are served by public transport and
provide improved opportunities for access by walking and cycling. It notes that these Centres, which might be a country town, single large village or group of villages, should be identified in as the preferred location for development.
Based on this, the Document should establish a housing distribution strategy in rural area with primary focus on Service Centres, to maximise the opportunity for accessibility by non-car
modes of transport. The housing distribution strategy for the rural area should therefore also focus on those few larger villages which provide the broadest range of local services served by public transport, such as bus and train.
These factors should determine the most appropriate location for development.
There is no justification for a more indiscriminate, dispersed approach, as the Document presently indicates will be used in part to influence the distribution strategy.
