<strong>Planning</strong> and Affordable Housing. This will ensure that the dwelling remains available to meet local<br />
affordable housing need should the original justification have ceased to exist.<br />
9.3.10 Applications for rural enterprise dwellings must only be permitted where the rural enterprise<br />
dwelling appraisal provides conclusive evidence of the need for the dwelling and an occupancy<br />
condition is applied.<br />
9.3.11 One Planet Development is development that through its low impact either enhances<br />
or does not significantly diminish environmental quality. One Planet Developments should initially<br />
achieve an ecological footprint of 2.4 global hectares per person or less in terms of consumption<br />
and demonstrate clear potential to move towards 1.88 global hectares over time (the global<br />
average availability of resources in 2003). They should also be zero carbon in both construction<br />
and use.<br />
9.3.12 One Planet Developments may take a number of forms. They can either be single homes,<br />
co-operative communities or larger settlements. They may be located within or adjacent to existing<br />
settlements or be situated in the open countryside. Land based One Planet Developments<br />
located in the open countryside should provide for the minimum needs of the inhabitants in<br />
terms of income, food, energy and waste assimilation over a period of no more than 5 years from<br />
the commencement of work on the site. This should be evidenced by a management plan produced<br />
by a competent person(s). The management plan should set out the objectives of the proposal,<br />
the timetable for development of the site and the timescale for review. It should be used as the basis<br />
of a legal agreement relating to the occupation of the site, should planning consent be granted.<br />

Housing requirement<br />
A range of evidence, including the Assembly Government’s latest household projections and the<br />
results of the Local Housing Market Assessment, should inform the quantification of the housing<br />
requirement (both market and affordable housing) for each local planning authority. It should be<br />
underpinned by collaborative working with neighbouring authorities and other stakeholders<br />
(9.2.1 - 9.2.2, 9.1.4 and 9.2.15).<br />
Locational considerations<br />
The national planning policy statements which should inform the settlement strategy in the LDP and<br />
