Individual village housing requirements whether with or without a primary school should be judged inclusively, with housing numbers, type and site/s identified to satisfy that village’s needs and best interests. A ‘windfall’ of 3 houses in total for a cluster site with no primary school over the GNLP period of 12 years is grossly inadequate for most villages and particularly if any local services there are to survive. They need sensible growth. It’s ridiculous to treat so many villages with a broad brush housing policy based upon the same maximum number of 3 per village.
