Most of us will be aware of unused/ wasting land assets on the fringe of housing clusters that could be put to better more sustainable use. They mostly are already capable to linking up to the existing services. Such sites do not change the character of the area and are often seamlessly absorbed into the landscape. The National Planning Framework Document calls for a small percentage of new development sites to be of 5 units and below but all to often they are not approved. There is too much emphasis on larger estates and ignoring small scale windfall opportunities.
