Support SP1: Supporting long-term vitality of villages, delivering mix of homes, positive approach to determining applications

Full text:

The principles of sustainable development within North Hertfordshire as set out in Policy SP1 are supported.

In particular the Council at section (b) the policy is correct in seeking to ensure the "long-term vitality of the district's villages by supporting growth which provides opportunities for existing and new residents and sustains key facilities". This growth includes at C(i) the need to "deliver an appropriate mix of homes, jobs and facilities that contribute towards the targets and aspirations of this plan".

The Council is to be applauded insofar as the Council states at paragraph 4.2 that in implementing the Plan it "will take a positive approach that ensures we can continue to permit the significant majority of planning applications for new development".
