While I can see the possible need for exception sites to accommodate affordable housing in some places, it is essential that any such schemes should originate from and be directed by the local community, not a developer. They should only be allowed outside existing planning boundaries in very exceptional circumstances where there is a very strong and demonstrable need, and there are no sites available within the boundary.
