* Rural Housing
The PC is currently considering the merits of a small development (circa 6-8) “rural houses” within the village. Rural houses are rental or co-ownership houses provided by a housing association for the benefit of local residents in housing need. They are typically built on “exception sites”, i.e. land that would not normally gain planning permission. A recent survey suggested there were villagers who could benefit from such a development.
Various sites have been discussed. The favoured one is on farmland on the B430, just about opposite the junction of Church Lane with the B430.
