Policy SS1 sets out housing and employment targets and policy to be within planned limits, it does not specifically refer to other uses, but is then generally used against community buildings adjacent or beyond settlement boundaries.

It is very important therefore that other policies are worded to reflect NPPF 85 and 93 and that SS1 has a note in policy or text to community uses.

The key objection is the lack of inclusion of community uses alongside employment in policies.

The plan is deficient in dealing with community uses.

Policies should reflect NPPF 85 to allow community facilities sometimes outside settlement boundaries.

Community uses must be included as a suitable option within the countryside.

Also, weight should be given to the sensitive expansion of existing facilities within the countryside sensitive in scale and to its surroundings.


The failure of the Reg 19 policies to support community uses alongside employment in rural areas fly against the objectives of NPPF 93.

This statement is why policy SS8 should reflect community uses.

Enhancement should include expansion
