LHN2(iv)(a) The "Affordable Housing" background paper mentions that affordable housing should be provided in rural areas where there is a "demonstrable need" and not in accordance with a blanket percentage figure of houses to be provided. Villages which already have a greater percentage of affordable housing than the average of the District should not be required to add further to that stock. With the latest Housing Needs Survey in this parish being ten years ago, it is not likely that up-to-date information regarding need will be available when housing development is proposed.

The requirement for affordable housing included in a development of houses to be indistinguishable from marketed properties is not justified and, if considered with Policy LHN1(ii) for properties in rural aras to be one or two bedroom dwellings, all properties in the rural areas will, in the future, be small. This will not provide sufficient family size homes to support our local primary school.

To be effective the location of the proposed cycle network needs to be specified as the existing bridleway network is insufficient and all roads in the District are narrow and unsuitable for installation of cycleways.
