The documents are not providing sufficient detailed information to reply to particular questions or sections, so the following are general comments and observation:

1. What standards methodology are RDC likely to adopt?
- Standard methodology: 7,200 new homes by 2040... or
- Standard methodology + 50% buffer: 10,800 new homes by 2040.

2. What strategy option are RDC likely to adopt, as strategy option 3 concentrated growth looks frightening and overwhelming?

3. Figure 28... need for housing by type and tenure. What is the record/situation being met by current developers when taking housing by type and nature?

4. The promoted sites identified on the maps (e.g. Fig. 53) appear to be frightening and overwhelming and provide little useful info and detail when the following clause is considered... "many types of these sites will not be appropriate for development". SO WHAT HOUSES ETC, NO'S OF HOUSES ETC GO WHERE?

5. There is very little detail and info on supporting infrastructure improvements and I would consider RDC have a poor track record when it comes to ensuring infrastructure are in place before new developments are built.

6. RDC seem to pride themselves on the area providing a good quality of life, but there appears to be little detail or information how this good quality of life is to be maintained or improved upon in the future.
