Strategic objectives should focus on optimising the recycling of land that has already been used for buildings by adopting a truly ‘brownfield first’ strategy.

The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) supports the aims of constructing carbon-neutral buildings, in existing urban areas on previously developed land with walking, cycling and public transport as the main means of travel. Developments should not be permitted outside of urban areas away from peoples’ work, services and facilities. Building on previously undeveloped land in rural areas is not sanctioned by government and not considered as sound planning policy.

The NPPF, by implication, includes homeless people within its definition of those needing ‘affordable accommodation’. Local Plans are therefore obliged to include homeless people in their provisions for affordable housing.

I support the vision, BUT you are currently obliterating the natural areas we have by building ugly housing all over the natural areas.
How will you create new natural areas when you have replaced the natural spaces that already existed with more housing.
You are ruining the countryside that was treasured by all in Lordswood, and governments are equally reponsible for our loss of nature.
We don’t have a lack of housing. We have overspill from London. The local people lose the nature they had to compensate for the need for housing for people moving from London.
