Policy COH/1-5 Village Character - New Build

Support use of term 'where practical' as this adds element of flexibility within policy wording. Essential that criteria list is not too prescriptive resulting in hindering delivery of development opportunity.

Part b) - too prescriptive and should be removed

Part f) - requirement not supported by any evidence. Too prescriptive as it will not allow most appropriate layout of schemes.

Part i) - admirable aim but aspirational. Clarity on how this is to be delivered. Delivery of communication infrastructure is responsibility of telecommunication and broadband industry. Policy requirement may have unintended impact on housing delivery as delivery of this infrastructure outside control of developer.
