National Policy Objective (NPO) 19 seeks to facilitate the provision of single housing in the countryside only where it is based on the core consideration of demonstrable economic or social need to live in a rural area and siting and design criteria for rural housing in statutory guidelines and plans, having regard to the viability of smaller towns and rural settlements.
• creation of demands for the subsequent provision of public infrastructure on a dispersed pattern (i.e. roads and services);
Therefore the amendment would lead to negative environmental impacts across environmental factors, including biodiversity, land and soils, water, climate / climate change, material assets and transport, heritage and landscape. |
