This policy is completely undermined by HOU4. If HOU4 is allowed, exception sites will not be considered by developers as HOU4 is an easier way to get development in the rural areas, outside the development boundary without considering the local need. No consideration of how the policy plays out in reality in rural areas.

Community engagement levels must be more clearly defines, with the Parish
Council able to determine whether the parish has been truly able to engage with
a developer about its required needs, otherwise development may proceed on
minimal engagement.
Consider integrating affordable homes with other housing and using the same
criteria for all

We support Policy HOU5 for the same reasons as set out in our response to Q119 and 121. Affordable housing is required at rural settlements to help create mixed and balanced communities. The provision of small-scale schemes will help ensure local residents have the opportunity to remain in these locations.
