Lower threshold requirement for rural areas must be retained. Many rural areas have higher than average house prices and higher living costs. Which means that more affordable housing doesn’t compromise viability

in rural settlements, garden, infill and backland development can severely impact local character and density to the detriment of both; consider local density and NP policies where present

yes - but if settlement boundaries are removed then how do you define a rural exception site.

Yes Health impact assessment needs to consider the design of open green space on larger developments, and plan for their management, to maximise health of all residents (not only the new houses), by making the green space usable by the community. Being outside, physical exercise, increasing contacts with other residents, volunteering, and contributing to safer and more enjoyable public spaces, and community pride, can all benefit from this. It should also consider whether hte location of the new green space will be a benefit for other residents - ie visible, accessible etc.

Flats can benefit from having balconies, which are an underused feature in british architecture

No, maintain existing policy. ensure that it covers overlooking from balconies, which are becoming a popular sort of property extension.

Agree with the policy. In addition, ensure that the design open green space on larger developments, and plan for their management, to maximise health of all residents (not only the new houses), by making the green space usable by the community. Being outside, physical exercise, increasing contacts with other residents, volunteering, and contributing to safer and more enjoyable public spaces, and community pride, can all benefit from this. It should also consider whether hte location of the new green space will be a benefit for other residents - ie visible, accessible etc.  Contribution must be on site. The development targets are too high for this plan period to allow any sizeable development to use the whole site for housing. An off-site contribution could not be spent locally to achieve a suitable amenity, due to the large number of other sites earmarked for development.
