Assessing Planning Applications
7.1 When assessing planning applications on sites allocated for B2 - Village Development, the following criteria will apply:
- Not every site allocated under this policy will be appropriate for the same use. Each scheme will be assessed on its merits, taking into account all relevant development management criteria.
- For a proposed scheme which includes residential development (either market or affordable housing), an up to date Housing Needs Survey will be required to accompany the application.
- Any proposals for residential development on these sites will be carefully assessed using the evidence provided in the Housing Needs Survey, and any other accompanying evidence.
