MM75

The words Small and Appropriate should be defined objectively to avoid confusion with potential future applications regarding other Council policies on this matter. An application has previously been made in Copford which was not fully in compliance with CBC policy on numbers of affordable houses to be delivered and was subsequently withdrawn. It is important to understand the issue of scale and location in the context of this modification as this applications may be resubmitted along with others with different scale and location.

The policy states "small" rural exception sites will be supported on "appropriate" sites.
This is subjective.

I support this in principle as it appears to provide Parish Councils with a greater say in the location of new developments. However this will only work if it is supported at all stages of the planning process.
