Some development at larger settlements is sensible rather than garden villages. Need Green Belt review. Historic constraint has been inadequate transport links - promote live-work units, accessible local employment, rail and highway infrastructure and improved pedestrian and cycle links to Backwell Station and to service centres. Affordable housing is desperately needed - must be reflected in viability testing. Infrastructure improvements must be implemented ahead of new housing.

Because of identifiable issues, best not to build in Nailsea at all, but to put this particular new settlement much closer in towards Bristol, preferably inside the new ring road.

Implications of development at Nailsea and Backwell on internationally protected habitats and floodplain areas have been recognised as key issues, but further evidence will be needed to identify and protect key bat habitats and landscape features and to inform measures needed to improve and protect water quality.
