Subsection (g) is generally supported, although, the use of the term "limited growth" is objected to. It would be more appropriate to remove the term "limited growth" and replace with an acknowledgement that growth in the rural villages should be in line with the South East Plan's housing requirement for the rest of District area.
It is clear that the Council, in exercising Policy ST5 (and not Policy ST2 as referred to in paragraph 5.70) of the South East Plan, is seeking to adopt a development strategy that falls below the "Rest of District" housing requirement set out by the South East Plan due to reason of sustainability. It is not entirely clear whether the Council can demonstrate this.
