This policy effectively provides a framework for considering potential windfall sites. By specifying that appropriate development is acceptable adjacent to the existing or committed built up areas of Rural Centres, the Plan should be regarded as being positively prepared and flexible.
However, because of the requirement for the policy to not significantly exceed the housing targets set out at Policy H1 of the Local Plan, DWH does not support the policy. Further comment is provided in relation to Policy H1 itself.
