Representation Summary:

Proposed policy RA1: Villages does not set out enough dwellings for the plan period 2011-2028 as the base figures do not reflect emerging national planning policy. In short, more housing is needed to serve the District and more housing, in excess of 1,000 dwellings, needs to be released on a scale which will not harm the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are sites close to the middle of the larger villages which can be released without harm to this national setting. The figures in Figure 12 need to be increased substantially.
