Chapter 2: Planning for Growth, Core Strategy and Settlement Strategy

Logically, 15 years after 1999 it would be possible for a family member to have established close family ties of their own, and so, in the interests of fairness and equality, this rule should have been removed in 2014. At the very least it should be moved by 15 years every 15 years to allow successive generations to follow on previous generations and keep rural areas repopulated and alive and not be blocked forevermore by a date set in 1999. This approach will effectively lead to depopulation of existing rural areas when the people granted houses upto 1999 have passed away as no sons or daughters will have received planning permission to stay in the rural area.

 

Alternatively make Mother and Fathers exempt so they are not considered a member of immediate family for thepurposes of the 1999 rule
