I take issue with the proscriptive nature of this section. New edge of settlement developments have little linkage with the historic centre of the village.
If new developments were limited to terrace housing in buff bricks we could easily end up with some pastiche that failed to deliver the housing needs of the district.
Good design, creative and imaginative layouts creating a sense of place are perfectly possible without proscribing anything but a limited form.
