Wiltshire Council's response to the government's National Planning Policy Framework consultation

Question 106

Do you have any views on the impacts of the above proposals for you, or the group or business you represent and on anyone with a relevant protected characteristic? If so, please explain who, which groups, including those with protected characteristics, or which businesses may be impacted and how. Is there anything that could be done to mitigate any impact identified?

Please explain your answer:

It is considered that the combined effect of proposed higher housing numbers and application of the 5-year housing land supply will be detrimental to rural communities; as they are more reliant on the private car and have less access to a choice of affordable transport modes, services and jobs than other areas leading to inequalities for these communities
