Whilst the general thrust of policy P14 is supported, submit that criterion vii, which seeks to protect, amongst other things, community facilities and open space from the introduction of incompatible development, is too rigidly drafted. It does not for example allow for the loss of such facilities through development where the benefits of that development significantly outweigh the dis-benefits of the loss.
Criterion vii to be amended to allow for a balancing exercise to be the determinative factor where development can deliver significant benefits which could include but not limited to including significant housing provision.
