It has not been demonstrated that there is a need for houses of the type proposed or that the approval of such would be in the national interest. Furthermore, it would be premature to permit the proposed development on land not intended for development in advance of a full site- selection process that will be carried out as part of the preparation of the Area Plan for the East.
