No, the UK has an acute housing crisis, and there is an immediate need for new homes for the Borough’s community’s in the next 5 years, there has also been a underperformance (medium term) of housing delivery in CW&C and therefore encouraging a lower housing delivery in the first part of the plan is only going to further reduce access to new homes to communities and stifle supply, which will have a negative impact on the local economy and well being of specific groups who are looking for a new home to invest in.

Yes, smaller centres are over looked, it would also allow any subsequent Neighbourhood Plans to be better aligned.

Yes, unless there is a strategic case to grow these settlements for other economic, social or environmental purposes, in such cases infrastrucure should be aligned to accommodate this identified growth.

Yes, the significant increase in housing and employment requirements requires a fundamental review and change to local green belt policy and boundaries

We believe a hybrid version of Option B and C but also recognising the need to increase existing settlements areas to accommodate the significant level of housing and employment growth.

No, it will fail to deliver the number of housing growth the City and Borough requires
