Q & A
What is the main focus of the pre-release booklet for the AQA exam in 2024?
-The pre-release booklet for the AQA exam in 2024 focuses on the Tolyp Village Development proposal, discussing whether the plan should go ahead, and includes data and perspectives on housing challenges, urban sprawl, and sustainable development.
Why is it recommended to have the pre-release booklet in front of you while watching the video?
-It is recommended to have the pre-release booklet in front of you to follow along with the video, make annotations, and highlight key points, as the video discusses figures and statistics from the booklet that are crucial for understanding the exam content.
What is the significance of the housing statistics provided by the National Housing Federation (NHF) in the booklet?
-The NHF statistics highlight the gap between the demand for new homes and the current supply, showing that there is a significant shortfall in meeting the housing demand, which is a key issue addressed in the exam.
What is the target set by the government for the number of new homes to be built annually, and how does the actual construction compare?
-The government has set a target of building about 300,000 homes per year, but the actual construction in 2022 was only 170,000, indicating a significant shortfall.
What is the projected increase in the total number of households in England from 2018 to 2040?
-The total number of households in England is expected to rise from 23 million in 2018 to 26 million in 2040, indicating a significant growth in housing demand.
What are the consequences of the housing crisis in England as mentioned in the video script?
-The consequences of the housing crisis include overcrowding, homelessness, lack of basic facilities, ill health, and children missing out on a good start to life.
Why is there a debate about the use of Brownfield and Greenfield sites for development?
-The debate arises because Brownfield sites are previously developed land that can be regenerated, while Greenfield sites are undeveloped, often part of the green belt, and their development can lead to environmental concerns and loss of green space.
What is the position of the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) regarding the development of Greenfield and Brownfield sites?
-The CPRE advocates for the redevelopment of Brownfield sites to address the housing crisis, arguing that it could accommodate 1.3 million homes, thus preserving the Greenfield sites and the green belt.
What is the concept of a 'garden settlement' as proposed in the Tolyp Village Development plan?
-A garden settlement is a type of development that emphasizes sustainability, integrating an agricultural landscape with a built environment, aiming to be self-contained with its own facilities and services to minimize the need for residents to travel outside the village.
What are the potential challenges of the Tolyp Village Development plan in terms of sustainability and community needs?
-The challenges include the initial lack of facilities for the community, the risk of becoming a commuter settlement, the long-term development period of 30 years, and the potential impact on local infrastructure and services.
What is Urban Sprawl, and how does it relate to the Tolyp Village Development plan?
-Urban Sprawl refers to the outward expansion of urban areas into rural landscapes, leading to the loss of green spaces. The Tolyp Village Development plan aims to address this by creating a self-contained, sustainable community to minimize urban sprawl.
Outlines
🏗️ Housing Crisis and Development Debate
This paragraph introduces the pre-release booklet for the AQA exam, focusing on the Tolyp Village Development proposal. It outlines the housing challenge in England, emphasizing the need for 340,000 homes annually, against a government target of 300,000, and an actual construction rate of 170,000 in 2022. The debate revolves around the use of Brownfield and Greenfield sites for future development, with implications for urban sprawl and housing inequality. Key statistics from the National Housing Federation highlight the housing demand and the government's shortfall. The paragraph also mentions the exam details, including the date, duration, and content, which includes sections on unseen fieldwork and geographical skills.
🏘️ Regional Housing Growth and Affordability
The second paragraph delves into regional differences in housing growth and affordability. It discusses the disparity between house prices and income, particularly pointing out the significant difference in London versus the Northeast. The paragraph suggests a potential link between these regional differences and the growth rates of areas, hinting at the possibility that affordability might influence population growth. It also touches on the concept of affordable housing and introduces the debate on Brownfield versus Greenfield land use, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each in terms of development costs, environmental impact, and existing infrastructure.
🌳 Environmental Impact of Urban Sprawl
This paragraph discusses the concept of Urban Sprawl, defined as the outward expansion of cities and towns, and its environmental consequences. It presents statistics on the annual loss of green land due to urban spread and debates the sustainability of this trend. The paragraph introduces the idea that while Brownfield development could potentially alleviate the housing crisis, it might not be sufficient to meet demand, suggesting that Greenfield development might still be necessary. It also mentions the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) and their stance on preserving green belts and promoting Brownfield development instead.
🛣️ Development Proposal and its Geographical Context
The fourth paragraph introduces a specific development proposal, focusing on its geographical context and features. It provides details about the location, size, and proximity to major roads and areas of outstanding natural beauty. The development aims to be a self-contained, sustainable community with its own amenities and infrastructure, including schools, public transport, and healthcare facilities. However, the paragraph also raises concerns about the initial phase of the development, which might not meet all the needs of the community and could result in a commuter settlement until the full development is realized over 30 years.
🏞️ Stakeholder Views on Development in Areas of Natural Beauty
This paragraph explores the perspectives of different stakeholders regarding the proposed development, especially its impact on an area of outstanding natural beauty. It discusses the potential benefits of the development, such as providing affordable housing and community facilities, against the concerns of local residents and environmental groups who oppose the loss of green space and the potential disruption to the countryside. The paragraph highlights the 'NIMBY' (Not In My Back Yard) phenomenon and the need to balance community needs with environmental protection.
🌿 Sustainability Features and Challenges of the Proposed Development
The sixth paragraph examines the sustainability aspects of the development proposal, detailing its environmental, social, and economic goals. It mentions features like the solar farm, public transport, and a range of housing sizes to cater to different needs. The paragraph acknowledges the potential for increased urbanization and the loss of woodlands as drawbacks. It also considers the timeline for the development's facilities to be fully operational, raising questions about the initial sustainability of the project and its long-term viability.
📊 Evaluating the Sustainability and Public Opinion on Village Development
The final paragraph synthesizes the information from the previous sections, encouraging the viewer to form an opinion on the proposed development. It suggests that while the development has many sustainable features, there are concerns about building on Greenfield land and the impact on areas of natural beauty. The paragraph ends with a prompt for the viewer to consider the evidence from all three figures and form a conclusion about whether the development should proceed, emphasizing the importance of a balanced viewpoint supported by evidence.

Transcripts
welcome to this video recapping the AQA
pre-release for
2024 um this year's pre-release is based
on the toly Village Development um
essentially whether you think this plan
proposal should or should not go ahead
um I cannot show you any of the figures
from the pre-released booklet due to
copyright so I'd recommend that you put
your pre-release booklet in front of you
as we go through this video um may also
be helpful to annotate and perhaps use a
highlighter to make some notes as we go
through some of the figures and some of
the big key points that come up sort of
consistently throughout the
booklet in terms of like facts and
numbers this exam you're going to sit on
9:00 a.m. on the 14th of June the paper
is an hour and 30 minutes long remember
it comprises also sections on unseen
fieldwork and geographical skills it's
worth 76 marks in total that's a total
Mark for the paper but your pre-release
book CL if we come back to that is three
figures spread over six pages in
total as I mentioned then it's Ste into
three figures each figure sort of takes
a different stance then on what's going
on within the proposal so figure one
centers on England's housing challenge
in particular it gives you sort of an
overview of the inequality in housing in
the UK there's a big debate about the
use of brown food and Greenfield sites
and which one potentially we should
focus our development on in the future
and also it talks a lot about Urban spro
towards the end and what the problem is
with that and again brings it back to
well where should we be developing is
there a problem with a number of people
potentially within our towns and cities
so the first thing it sets out are these
statistics from the National Housing
Federation or nhf as they refer to them
in the booklet so the big stats I
suppose and the big takeaway points we
should take from this is the fact that
approximately 340,000 homes need to be
built every single year that's our sort
of current demand if you like the
government has set a target of building
about 300,000 a year so already we're
40,000 short on that demand however
we've only managed to build 170,000 in
2022 if you look at the graph beneath it
on figure one where it says new housing
Supply it's like a green bar chart
essentially what that's showing us there
is yeah we have got this increase in
growth we have got an increase in demand
um and it seems to support the
statistics above it I suppose the big
point I would make from this is already
based on the figures that we've got in
terms of demand and how much the
government's buil we're already 50% down
on where we should be in terms of
building the amount of houses that
picture then is seemingly echoed when we
start talking about projected regional
growth so if you look there like a
chloropleth map um that's of getting at
the stats that I'm going to talk about
now so they say to you at the top there
that the total number of households in
England is expected to rise from 23
million in 2018 to 26 million in 2040
the map underneath is sort of
highlighting some Regional differences
so we've got some Pockets where
potentially that growth is looking like
it's going to be far more significant
than others um un I suppose what we're
going to consider when we look through
this booklet now is where is the growth
happening why potentially is it
happening in those areas that's what I'd
sort of expect to see next and where are
those differences the tables towards the
bottom that I'll come back and talk
about in a minute where it says
government spending on housing and house
prices and household income sort of draw
on some of that data then that they show
you in the chlorop ple map the bit for
me that I think I now start to ponder a
little bit more in detail is the
consequences so the big consequences if
you take from blue box of the fact that
we've got one in seven people in England
hit by a housing crisis that's
approximately 8 million people also
living in unaffordable unsuitable homes
so in the exam they could ask you what
the consequences are of this they could
ask you why do you think this is
happening I think based on the rest of
the information that they give you in
this section they're likely to ask you
to perhaps State a challenge that's
Arisen from this or a consequence of
this so things like for example
overcrowding as it mentions in the
figure homelessness lack of basic
facilities ill health children missing
out on a good start to life would be
some of the possible answers then that I
might suggest if I was posed that
question in the exam where say
government spending on Housing and
Community
amenities I suppose the only other thing
I would suggest to you is where's that
spending the highest versus where is it
the lowest now is it a surprise for
example that spending is greatest per
head in London at
203 versus lowest potentially at 77 in
the southwest potentially
however we would expect potentially the
spending to be greater in London as it's
our capital city so more investment
there looking at those numbers as well
just one thing to point out ahead of the
exam they're relatively simple they do
lend themselves really well to
calculating things like mean median mode
so make sure you're able to do that in
advance of the exam have a practice of
it remember mode is the most common
range highest take lowest mean adding
them all up dividing by how many there
are again you're confident in doing that
prepping those answers sort of ahead of
time we'll save you some time and buy
back some precious minutes in that exam
as
well so if I consider then house prices
versus income this is the table in the
bottom right hand corner on page two the
big points here M has just got a
calculator out and started playing
around with the numbers I suppose is I
can see that where I've got the highest
average house price I also have the
highest average household income now in
London the difference between average
household income and house price is
about 15 times so it's 15 times greater
income um than what we've got elsewhere
if I consider what's going down in the
Northeast for example well in the
Northeast there's only a seven times
difference so between average household
income and house price I'm calculating
that by obviously doing 17096 times
roughly seven and coming out somewhere
in the region of 127
466 why is that significant well already
that's amplifying that difference isn't
it remember I was just talking about
Regional differences and Regional
household growth and where is projected
to potentially grow the most versus the
least well you could argue couldn't
there is there a difference here where
I've got this this 15 times and this
seven times is that leading to some
areas growing quicker than others where
we were talking previous about
unaffordable unsuitable homes well is
that making that difference much greater
depending on cost on level of income You
could argue potentially then that there
is a link between the two there I
suppose what they're now going to start
to draw from this is whether we need
affordable housing and if you look to
page three of your pre-released booklet
that's where it basically goes next so
it starts to talk about affordable
housing and then there's again another
bar graph here remember in the exam they
like to ask you questions like describe
the data Trend Factor normally should be
like your immediate thought process so
what's the overall pattern in the graph
can I quote some dayr or anything
doesn't quite fit that pattern when I
look at that graph there affordable
housing I'm thinking right there is a
slight decline it's not massive but
there is a slight decline there 145,000
homes to be built it mentions as well so
I suppose now what they're sort of
leaning more towards is yep we've got a
housing issue yetep we can see from all
of the information on page two figure
one that we've got some issues yes there
is increasing demand for homes yes we
need to make them affordable how do we
go about doing that is where the rest of
Page Three Now sort of starts to take us
on so the next thing it starts to bring
up now is this big geographical debate
about the use of Brownfield or
Greenfield land to recap Brownfield land
is land that's already been previously
developed Greenfield land obviously does
what it says on the tin it show new big
green spaces so huge advantages to using
Brownfield land is the fact that it's
already been built it's already got Road
Connections it's already connected to
things like power water and electricity
by using those sites you're massively
going to improve the look of an area so
it is some form of
regeneration however on the flip side of
that you could argue well instead of
starting from scratch you've got lots of
expensive upgrading to do if I think
about what that looks like in comparison
to using Greenfield land well I would
argue that Greenfield land is much
cheaper ER than Brownfield land because
it's not being developed already so I'm
starting aresh going to have loads more
space should you wish to develop
outwards in the future hugely attractive
to house buyers and businesses think
about your surroundings it's not just
going to be the home or the business
itself that's going to sell it but the
location and where it is so green fi
land would obviously look very
attractive to buyers downsides of using
this then you're obviously going to be
eating into the green belt so the green
Bel is that area of undeveloped land
that surrounds the city loss of habitats
loss of green space so actually
environmentally potentially using
Greenfield sites isn't necessarily the
best thing to do now where do we go from
here then well the CPR or the campaign
to protect rural England are one major
stakeholder in this so stakeholder is
anybody that holds a view or particular
opinion about something for example
you're a stakeholder within whichever
school or college you're at because you
have a view potentially on the uniform
you have a view on the mobile phone
policy whereas campaigns protect rural
England have a view on whether we should
or shouldn't develop Greenfield and
Brownfield sites so they make some big
points then so they're basically saying
well Brownfield land should we choose to
redevelop this instead of using
Greenfield could build about 1.3 million
homes so they're basically saying you
can solve some of this housing crisis if
you go back and redevelop your
Brownfield sites rather than eating into
the green belt they then give this
example of Carrington moss and they're
basically saying right in Caron Moss
look at what's happening they've got the
potential here to redevelop lots of
Greenfield types when actually they
could be developing the Brownfield
they're not particularly happy about
that I suppose is the overall view
they're making they then go on and talk
about the May and the May basically
starts saying right these places could
become really thriving they could become
attractive to live and work with the
nature nearby to be enjoyed so what the
mayor basically there is saying is leave
the countryside alone because the
countryside will attract people to move
to these Brownfield areas redevelop the
Brownfield sites cuz it's going to look
significantly better and the two of them
will look really good hand in hand side
by side together rather than just
developing the one or the other I
suppose the other big point to make then
would be to talk about Urban SPO which
is the only other thing on page three
that we haven't touched on yet Urban SPO
is like the outward growth of your city
or your town so currently we're losing
about 4,000 hectar every single year due
to Urban spr the Hector is like the size
of a really big football pitch I think
like an American football pitch for
example but 4,000 of those were losing
in terms of land so the point they're
making in the urban sproll box is
they're saying well we're losing 4,000
hectar every single year but you're also
suggesting that we could go back and
develop all this Brownfield land even if
we developed this Brownfield land we
still wouldn't have enough green land or
Greenfield s to be a better way of
phrasing that to develop in order to
keep up with current demand so we're
still going to have to use Greenfield
sites so I suppose just think about your
opinion on where you sit so they could
ask you in the exam to examine possible
solutions to the UK's housing crisis
if that question came up and I've
written it here on the screen for you as
well if that question came up just be
prepared to talk about Greenfield and
Brownfield sites the advantages and
disadvantages of both what do you think
like what's your opinion do you think we
should use Brownfield do you think we
should use Greenfield do you think urban
sprawl is potentially a problem now yes
no or why might that be the case those
are all the sorts of things that i' be
talking about in that six marker should
it come up so that's sort of pages two
and three that's figure one of your
pre-released booklet if you turn over
then and we start chatting about figure
two figure two can be found on pages
four and five it basically centers on a
few things I think figure two actually
is quite nice there's not a lot of text
there it's quite Visual and actually I
think looks really nice on the page in
terms of there's plenty of stuff you can
pick out and talk about it's a little
bit more open to
interpretation I think that the big
things I'd make sure I can do on figure
two I've obviously written them here but
where is it what are the features of
project can you do your OS map skills
they've given half half a page on page
five to an OS map which tends to make me
think they're going to ask lots of os
map based questions then in the exam the
obvious thing to be say is well can you
describe the location could you be asked
for a couple of marks to describe
exactly where it is you've got a map in
front of you they've given you some
basic facts they could ask you to write
this so like big points I might make is
to say well it's east of tumbridge it's
in southeast England um it's about a
village in terms of size it's just
outside Kent the b2017 runs through it
you've got an area of outstanding
National Beauty to the South You' got
about 10,000 hectar of protected land
involved within this area so it gives it
some sort of sense of scale and size I
think that would be more than enough in
terms of location if you're stuck on
describing the location if you go to
page four the sort of orangey yellow box
at the top gives you a couple of
sentences anyway to get you started and
just thinking about where it is the
other big suggestion I would make is
just to have a quick look at it the one
thing they say with pre-release is you
don't need to go and do loads of
research use the information in the
booklet but it's always helpful just to
bug it into Google and see where it is
on a map it helps to BU some sort of
context as
well so what's proposed then here at
development if you look through rest of
page four you've got a village plan at
the bottom it gives you some sort of key
features of the program as well um but
basically what they're suggesting is is
a garden settlement okay a garden
settlement essentially tries to focus
really on sustainability so it's going
to have this agricultural landscape but
also be a built environment too to as
part of that then they're putting
sustainability at the Forefront they
want to make this a self-contained
development so self-contained
development means you have houses that
also have a school that they can use
that have some public transport
potentially with a village hall or
something which they say they're going
to build it's got its own health care
facilities it's got its own sports Parks
So in theory people shouldn't need to
travel outside of the village to be able
to access all these things now that in
itself sounds really really good and
sounds amazing I suppose the only thing
I would urge you to consider if you're
going to sell that as a real positive in
the exam is remember they're saying
they're building all of this over a
period of 30 years so initially when
they start to put the first few houses
up they won't have all of these
facilities it's not till 30 years down
the line when this is an established
Community will have all of those things
so in the long run in terms of
sustainability and social sustainability
this sounds really good but short term
actually have they got everything to
meet the needs of that Community
probably not so you are running the risk
of this becoming a commuter settlement
people purchasing a house here and still
having to travel into neighboring towns
and Villages like tumbridge for example
to use the shops or to send their
children to school to start
with I did stress as well didn't I about
the OS map you can see the OS map at the
top of page five mine which slight
different I've gone for a different
scale um the best one to use would be
the one in the book because that would
be the one that they will use in the
exam here but just think about your
geography skills like can you do the
more can you do a four figure grid
reference for example can you do a six
figure grid reference are you you
comfortable with describing the location
of where this new development is going
to be so the new development for example
is going to sort of sit in this region
here so can you describe on an OS map
where that is in relation to tumbridge
so are you confident saying for example
that that's Southeast they might ask you
to give them a good reference they might
ask you to suggest potentially two
pieces of map evidence as to why the C
has been chosen if that was the question
about two pieces of map evidence I'd be
drawing on the fact that you've got
major roads here like the
20117 I'd be talking about the land use
here the fact that it is definitely
Greenfield sites I'd be looking at the
contour lines that I can see within this
region and say right well the land looks
relatively flat so lends itself to
development I think just be really
confident with knowing exactly what's on
that map so remember in the exam they'll
give you an insert which is all the OS
map symbols just check can you identify
for you on the map if you're really
stuck what symbols can you see what do
they mean on the key right why might
that be a good thing for example those
might be the sorts of things then that I
might talk about in the
exam the final thing and I know we're
whipping through figure two here is just
to draw your attention to high wield
which is an area of outstanding National
Beauty so think about their viewpoint on
this development so I suppose page four
is sort of selling you the plan isn't it
and it's saying this is why people would
want it this is why local communities
would love it remember it's got open
space it's got that Community feel it's
a self-contained development 2,800 new
homes isn't that amazing they're going
to have all these Community facilities
wow this sounds really great and then
page five starts to say well actually
here's a group of people that might
potentially really not like this
development because it's sitting within
this area of outstanding National Beauty
so it's made up of loads of farms nearby
it's quite a lot of Woodland and hedges
extensive use of the countryside so
actually are the local residents for
example going to be really happy with
this brand new development when they've
previously had beautiful country side
and it's now taken up by this brand new
Village probably not so they might have
what's described as a nimi view which
stands for not in my backyard so it
might mean they they don't want it
they're not opposed potentially to the
development but they just don't want it
near them and they don't want it taking
up their air of outstanding National
Beauty which I get that could be
something you talk about in the exam
would we want this area of Greenland
sites that's been there and protected
since 1980 with over 10,000 hectar being
destroyed by this brand new development
okay think about camp paying for rural
England for example they're going to be
dead against that because they're going
to want to protect that area of
outstanding National Beauty however you
might say well the local community for
example or those looking to buy property
in the area might be really for this
because they're seeing it sometimes as
affordable homes their chance to
purchase property so you're going to
have to be able to balance and sort of
counter the two for example in the exam
they might ask you to suggest who would
be really for this suggest who's against
this
they might ask you to discuss
stakeholder views here they might ask
you to what extent do you think the
development here is going to be
sustainable discuss why they might have
chosen this area for a development so
just be confident with making sure you
can give an opinion on all of these
things good practice would be to look at
figures in the booklet and say right who
would like this who wouldn't like this
why for every single section that will
help you to develop an overall stance or
a Viewpoint then that you can talk about
especially as you come into figure three
figure three is where most of the debate
is sort of centered and normally is
where they start to draw you towards the
N marker so in figure three they're
going to tell you about the differing
perspectives they tell you even more
about what's in the proposal so they're
trying to conjure out whether you're
going to really like this or not and
then they start telling you about who's
going to want this and who's not going
to want this so the key Point bit for
example at the top of the page starts to
talk you through and starts to say right
here's what there is within the
development so they're basically saying
well the main principle is the
sustainability here and that's what
they're hugely focusing on I've taken
some of the artwork from the village
plans just to sort of show you they're
putting huge emphasis here on Greenery
when I look at this the first color I
see is green green is normally
associated with sustainability but as I
look beyond that here I can see there's
lots of public space there are lots of
walkways I suppose one concern the local
community might have is think about
their traditional style housing is the
new modern type housing that's shown in
this picture here going to blend in with
that but then they show you The Village
plan that I've shown you previously and
they start to pull out other features so
they start to talk about protecting the
ancient Woodland they start to talk
about providing a range of housing sizes
why is that important or hang on a
minute in figure one they told me there
was a problem with inaccessible and
unaffordable housing for families so
they're trying to cater for that market
they're trying to put in a new
electricity substation to make it
self-contained well that was one big
feature they said they wanted of this
program they're trying to use the
existing water supply infrastructure and
upgrade that so there is some sort of
hint of Brownfield development there not
massive but there is some use of it
they're putting in their own solar farm
to generate electricity the new railway
station with a 10-minute walks they're
putting in loads of public transport so
they are trying to put sustainability at
the center of this it's just whether
people are going to get on board with it
and whether people are going to really
like it I suppose that's my next big
question the other thing they're
starting to do then is starting to think
now about who wants this and who doesn't
want this the green box at the bottom of
page six where it says adapted from
tumbridge Welles prese submission local
plan I suppose gives a little bit more
of a context to this so they start
really to sell it with the road networks
and the development what it provides for
this new low energy Vision the fact that
they're trying to make this minimal
waste they're really trying to push the
idea that this is sustainable but who's
going to be really happy with this so
just consider the different perspectives
people have got on page seven so for
example example you might say right what
are the real positives well the
positives out of this are the fact it's
got mixed jued housing the fact that
it's close to both urban and rural the
increase in shops and services this plan
is going to provide increased employment
opportunities you could therefore argue
Community facilities recreational space
improve local roads this new low energy
Vision all hints towards sustainability
that's the big point I'm going to make
now is remember sustainability isn't
just environmental sustainability can
also be social and economic so the
points I've raised there would tick off
multiple different things in terms of
negatives I suppose increased
urbanization would be like the big one
do you want increased urbanization in
Greenfield land probably not loss of the
woodlands the fact that I said before
this could become a communal settlement
with people traveling sort of in and out
of the area but not really staying there
for loads of time the increased traffic
on local roads parking the displacement
of local
businesses again remember the facilities
are only being put in once the whole
homes are built so you potentially got
to wait 30 years to see that new school
and that new sports
center is the infrastructure in the
local area going to be able to cope with
all of this probably not think about
total costs like how expensive is this
going to be the pressure it's now going
to put on local services for the next 30
years until that new school's built so
who's going to be really happy about
that with people moving in going to be
quite happy they've got a home they're
able to afford somewhere hopefully and
get themselves on the property ladder
however are the families that are living
in the neighboring Village is going to
be too happy and potentially their
child's School place is at risk or
they've got to wait longer to see a
doctor because these facilities don't
exist I suppose that's what I'd urge you
to sort of compare where it says in the
blue box on page seven the development
could be a
disaster they're starting to sort of
draw this out a little bit more aren't
they okay think about those points there
do you agree or disagree with them the
bullet points are supposed to the bits
that I would start with okay I'm not
going to read all of that to you as this
video would be half an hour long but
just check do you agree do you disagree
why do you think that the final sort of
things I want to draw on then is well
what defines this idea of a sustainable
settlement so I've already said that
sustainability has got to pull in the
ideas of people so it's got to be social
it needs to be environmental it's got to
be economic as well that bullet point
list they give you there is supposed as
they're like checklist isn't it as
towards how sustainable it is so does it
have access to quality affordable
housing well yes they've told us that in
the plan does it have Community
facilities yes but not for 30 years have
they got some Environmental Protection
there well yes they're trying to go with
this low energy Vision local employment
opportunities You could argue yes but
again potentially 30 years time things
like that Sports Center all needs met
locally I supp that's a harder one to
sort of agree or disagree with I would
potentially say yes initially minimum
waste created I think that's really hard
to tell from the figure so I'd be
tempted to say no how's they got
recycling opportunities it sort of hints
at it so I'd say yes renewable energy
definitely yes for that new solar Farm
sustainable transport yes they're trying
to put public transport at the center of
it so actually when I look through that
list on how many I've said yes to it's
quite a few so in terms of their initial
plan I would argue and prend to agree
with them that I do think it is quite
sustainable it's just whether you think
it's sustainable they're building on
this Greenfield land when figure one
told us we've got all of this Brownfield
space that we could go back and develop
so I think the N marker at the end of
all of this is going to be something
along the lines of or do you agree or
disagree that this Village Development
should go ahead normally in the exam
there's like a tick box for yes no and
then it asks you to explain your answers
using all the evidence on figures 1 two
and three again it doesn't matter
whether you say yes or no here it just
matters that you're able to give your
opinion and you're able to back it up
with evidence from each of the three
figures the one thing that people will
do wrong on this question will be just
to talk about figure three on its own to
get maximum credit on a nine marker like
this you must take evidence from figures
one two and three so if I was going to
answer this question I would say well
yes I think it should go ahead because
well figure one tells us we've got a
problem with the amount of new homes
there's not enough being built and this
development will help to build those
figure two tells us for example about
it's going to be multi-use it's going to
have loads of facilities it's going to
help develop this land however other
people might disagree with me because
it's going to take some of this area of
outstanding National Beauty and develop
on Greenfield sites but in figure three
it then talks about sustainability yes
then I would agree this development
should be built because it's got all the
features of a sustainable development
and in 30 years time if it is truly
sustainable we will have reaped the
rewards from that so overall I agree in
my conclusion could be like a rough idea
of a plan that I might go with for this
nine marker of course you can disagree
that's absolutely fine it's just about
having a Viewpoint and being able to
explain it and the one I've modeled
there I've just gone with yes I would
highly encourage you to practice this
nine mark question um and show it to
your geography teacher for some feedback
as always any questions please come and
ask
