Respondent: Mr Carey Mackinnon

Representation Summary:

Policy S2.
This policy takes no account of practical numbers. The HELAA, your draft plan and this policy in particular takes no overall account of the inability of the Western Manhood Peninsula to support the scale of building proposed.
HELAA identifies over about 2,000 house building sites for the Western Manhood Peninsula. Is that sensible and practical? Further at the next round of Government "Requirements" could that stretch to 5,000 or more? The point is there must be a sensible maximum. The CDC have a duty of care to identify what that figure is.
