The settlement development limit has been designated to take account of land with extant planning permission for housing and sites that have not yet been approved but are at a stage in the planning process where there is reasonable expectation that approval will be granted. The settlement development limit also takes account of the role of the settlement while protecting the attractive rural setting.
The settlement development limit allows the compact form, the rural character and the locally significant buildings of the settlement to be preserved while retaining and protecting locally significant areas of land and leaving opportunity for some limited future development.
