The strictly limited scope for residential development is not appropriate for those settlements currently with a settlement boundary.
Reference to employment development should now be reviewed and replaced by wording in accordance with PPS4, particularly policies EC6 and EC10 therein.

The proposed imposition of a financial contribution towards the provision of affordable housing on sites of less than 15 dwellings (or sites of less than 0.5ha) is unreasonable and should be deleted. The requirement for the 1.5 B jobs per dwelling (or any amendment thereof) should be specifically stated as not applying to the affordable housing element.

The restriction on affordable housing sites under this policy (in rural exceptions and allocated sites) not to be permitted should be deleted. The present requirements as set out in Policy H/5 of the current Replacement Local Plan should continue to prevail. |

In respect of point 2) the words "delivered early in the development" should be deleted as this will be an unrealistic proposition in many instances due to viability considerations.
In respect of point 8) there should be greater flexibility than is implied by simply prioritising previously developed land in this way. |

Greater flexibility needs to be incorporated within the wording of the policy.
The requirements in items 2, 3 & 4 under this policy are demanding particularly in the light of the present economic circumstances. Viability is the key consideration if the scale of both economic and residential development required for this District is to be achieved and the wording should be amended accordingly. |

The proposed policy should be deleted as it is tantamount to introducing green belt restrictions in areas without the need to justify same in planning terms. Either the land is worthy of green belt status or else it remains countryside; the policy should be deleted. |

The area of search to be the whole of North Somerset should be amended to say that with regard to the Service Villages it is the Service Village and its immediate environs and economic hinterland that is the relevant area of search.
In respect of 2) any Council land so identified must have already been formally declared to be surplus and be genuinely available for purchase by private treaty. |
