The point is made at 1.4 of section I that the VDS can be used in evidence to<br />
justify the refusal of planning permission, which is laudable in principle.<br />
However, it follows that it must also be open to potential developers to plead<br />
compliance with VDS as evidence in support of approving a development.<br />
<strong>Council</strong> would have to refer to people<br />
undertaking “works” as “workers” which is<br />
less clear than ”developers”.<br />
Support welcome.<br />
Agreed, in the interests of balance, amend<br />
the text to note that the VDS may be used to<br />
support a planning application or to justify<br />
refusal.<br />

As a second point of detail, Para A8 appears to currently form part of para A7<br />
and I suggest an amendment to the first sentence to read: “Even if planning<br />
permission is not required, it is still very much in the interests of the village that<br />
any work be undertaken in sympathy with the village’s character.”<br />
In addition to a stronger introduction regarding the intended purpose of the VDS<br />
I request that there be specific reference added, most probably at Para B2 to the<br />
effect: “B2- There are lots of conflicting issues in considering new development<br />
but planning policies in the Development Plan, particularly those relating to<br />
proposed development in the countryside and the Green Belt, will be preeminent.<br />
Only where development can be considered acceptable within the<br />
terms of those policies and Government guidance, will the VDS then provide a<br />
basis for an assessment as to whether the design and character of development<br />
is appropriate for its location.”<br />
Agree make changes<br />
Typographical error.<br />
Agree make changes<br />
As stated above, such a change is arbitrary<br />
and unnecessary.<br />
It is unnecessary to repeat national planning<br />
policy in local planning policy, and therefore it<br />
is unnecessary to repeat local policy in SPD.<br />
The role and status of the VDS are clearly set<br />
out in the VDS.<br />
Mr & Mrs Gray A7 2 nd sentence: “the advice has been used” – again whose advice? “The advice” means” this VDS”<br />
Agree make change to all VDS<br />
Mr & Mrs Gray Needs a new para for para A8 Typographical error<br />
Mr & Mrs Gray Para A8 – agreed, but how is it policed The VDS is intended to guide and inform<br />
anyone undertaking development as to the<br />
benefits of appropriate development –<br />
ultimately though if it does not require<br />
