criteria erm to which local authorities er should refer erm , I 'll erm refer specifically to er to three of them and I and and comeback to them as I go through erm erm what I want to say , erm the first one I draw that I would draw the panel 's attention to is erm that the alternative of the expansion of existing towns or villages should represent a less satisfactory method at providing the land for housing that is needed , and it 's a rhetorical question really here , erm and w we would ask that erm if there has n't been a comparative appraisal erm of the two options , and how could there be , there 's no erm district or areas been identified , how can we be certain that one option is better than another under the terms of that er criterion , erm the oth second point we would draw the panel 's attention is that the proposal is a clear expression of local preference supported by the local planning authorities , and again I would emphasize there that Hambledon District Council objects , and the third one is the option of a new settlement in preference to the alternative would result in positive environmental improvements , and I 'll return to that erm briefly in relation to er to Hambledon , P P G twelve erm paragraph six one four that 's been referred to it , includes a check list of issues against which areas in for new development in general er need to be er considered , with particular reference for reducing the need for travel , erm amongst these issues that the P P G asked the Councils to take into account erm are that development should make full and effective use of land within existing urban areas , that developments er should consider development patterns that are closely related to public transport net networks , and in relation to housing , and that housing is located in such a way as to minimize car use for journeys to work , school , and other local facilities , P P G thirteen , and I would expect erm I would agree with what Mr Donson has said here , is that it it 's draft and obviously one has to put the appropriate weight on it , but erm this reinforces and expands upon erm established government policy , reducing the need for travel , erm I do n't think it 's necessary for me to go into er the quotes in detail , I think that those have been er been touched on , erm , however , I would say erm that Hambledon District Council believes that the advice in draft P P G thirteen is much less supportive of new settlements , it suggests that greater weight must be given to the environmental implications of the additional traffic generated by new settlements erm this is , erm we believe , particularly important in view of the fact that a new settlement for York is unlikely to be self contained , and by its nature many of the residents will still look to York for essential services , social links , and employment , turning to the residual requirement , erm we have a concern over this , erm clearly a new settlement is intended to mop up any residual requirement which the er policy sets at fourteen hundred dwellings , we 've heard evidence from York today that er the city can accommodate erm more erm houses than was originally envisaged , which brings the residual requirement to erm about the minimum size specified by the County Council as being erm about the right level erm to make a s a new settlement self supporting , however , we would point out that there is still the possibility of erm further peripheral development around York , the greenbelt local plan and Southern Ryedale local plan er have not yet been statutory adopted , the inspector has n't reported on those , we do n't know what he 's going to say about sites er which were at issue , or on the need for flexibility between the inner erm boundary of the greenbelt and the city , irrespective of course of what the inspector says , erm being not yet statutory adopted the County and Ryedale will still have the opportunity to consider , reconsider there policies there , but putting that aside for the present , erm even if it is established that er the requirement for nine thousand seven hundred houses erm ca n't a occupied by er can be accommodated by er peripheral development , erm this does n't it does n't necessarily follow that the answer has to be a new settlement , we heard yesterday in erm great detail that erm environmental considerations have justified a reduction in the rate of development in other districts , erm in the county , I would point out that a relatively modest reduction erm in the inward migration to Ryedale , Selby , and York , could mop up the residual requirement , if one looks at erm the reasons for the greenbelt it is perhaps surprising that given the importance attached to maintaining its historic form and character that this is not an issue erm that 's been considered .
