7.3 refers to an upper limit of 3 storeys in village edge developments. It is highly regrettable that SCDC Planning Committee have accepted Hills' plans for site H1/b, when a similar overall density could have been achieved by following the design guidance and going for 2/2.5 storey terraces rather than 4 storey blocks of flats, and space and energy wasteful detached houses. This should not occur on future developments.
