The relationship can be quite complex. It is determined by numerous factors which need to be taken into account in planning for growth. 1.2 The purpose of this Topic Paper is to set out the evidence in terms of the settlements in North Somerset in order to identify their current function and functional relationships with other settlements. The evidence will form the basis on which a hierarchy of settlements will be established. In particular the identification of Development Policy B and C settlements set out in the draft RSS. The Paper will also consider how policies have influenced the form and function of settlements and inform any discussion of whether the current list of inset and washed over Green Belt settlements is still appropriate and whether settlement boundaries are still the appropriate planning tool for many green belt and rural settlements.

That said I’ve been in this post long enough to know better than to tempt fate – as they used to say in South Africa, “Don’t go looking for the sun – it will find you!”, so too I think the same applies to the busy-ness of parish life. While much of May might be an oasis of calm, we begin and end with important moments in our church life.
