Option 4 is the most balanced approach, but with the important caveat that local needs should not be forgotten or under-estimated. We note that it is commented that that this Option is more directed towards settlement hierarchy options 4 and 5, which we have not supported, but we see it more as an outline of a general approach to housing distribution and, particularly, as it is noted that the final approach may be a combination of more than one option (page 56), we see no difficulty in identifying it as our preference in terms of the options identified.

The HBF do not support options 1, 2, 3 or 6 and do not support one particular option but instead elements of Options 4, 5 and although these are described in very different ways, comparing the plans they look very similar. Accordingly, we suggest the Council look to develop a hybrid option based on these options, which gives the greatest flexibility for growth based around sustainable settlements (Urban, Satellite Settlements and the Local Service Centres), according to their ability to accommodate development, therefore providing greater likelihood of the plan being able to deliver the identified vision, objectives and needs.

This will direct development in line with the WSP to Primary Key Settlements and Satellite Settlements with the capacity and infrastructure to accommodate development. It acknowledges that in the rural area a more refined policy approach would be developed to ensure that a more flexible approach is taken to bringing about delivering local needs whilst protecting local character and the open countryside. By focusing on this wider growth option, it ensures the role of other sustainable settlements are not overlooked. Likely to have less impact on the capacity of infrastructure and on a wide range of physical and environmental constraints.
