Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 3992

Received: 10/03/2023

Respondent: Mrs Jane Towers

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Inadequate
By your own metric you are missing the target of need of 200 homes pa. identified in the HEDNA. The affordable/ social rented element would result in only 93 homes pa.
This would have been an opportunity for CDC to transform housing for low income families/ single people by taking out loans to build up and replace social housing stock which would more than pay for itself. Housing for low income families should not be left to the vagaries of the market.

Change suggested by respondent:

A commitment to ensure that the 200 homes pa are built.
That the Council will seek to investigate building housing stock of their own within the Government guidelines.
