The village of Hook Norton is mentioned ( see earlier post) as well as this exchange:
Michelle Donelan Conservative, Chippenham
The Minister will be aware that the planning inspector has deferred a decision on Chippenham’s housing development plan and has asked Wiltshire council to come back after a few queries. During this time, what measures could be put in place to ensure we do not have a free-for-all of aggressive planning applications against the best interests of the strategy of the town?
Marcus Jones Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Communities and Local Government) (Local Government)
Having a five-year land supply in place puts local planning authorities in a strong position to resist unwanted development. Furthermore, national planning policy reiterates the importance of sustainable development, not development anywhere or at any cost, and I am sure my hon. Friend’s local authority is well aware of that when making decisions.

What can you do when the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Communities and Local Government) (Local Government) is si ignorant of real life?
