17 SITE ALLOCATION TENSION AECOM
the concluding remarks on the table (page 23) state there is attention identified in the
appraisal. This tension is between the preservation of the natural environment and delivery
of housing development to accommodate need in the village. This is a common issue and
one that must be resolved by planners taking into account community views on potential
effects on sustainability baseline. Once the appraisal is fairly evenly weighted, it is likely that
the best option is one that lies in the middle (option two). Under this option provision of
housing will certainly lead to beneficial effects, and whilst there may be negative
environmental consequences, there is the potential for mitigate if policies to ensure that
significant negative effects on the baseline are avoided
