In new residential developments, including those allocated through the Local Plan, there should be a varied mix of house types and sizes. Specific regard should be had to the need for low cost market housing, as well as the needs of young families looking for 2 and 3-bedroom properties. Also, the explicit needs of a growing ageing population in the Parish and the corresponding need for more homes suitable for lifetime occupation by the elderly should be met.

Affordable homes will be provided including a range of house types and tenures in accordance with the requirement for affordable housing in the Housing Needs Survey.

A Rural Exceptions scheme or schemes totalling around 3 new affordable dwellings would be supported subject to a suitable site (or sites) being found in the Parish. Should viability be an issue, a small proportion (no more than 20%) of market homes may be acceptable on such a site (or sites) to facilitate the exceptions scheme.
