Part b is too onerous for developers. Majority of other Local Planning Authorities in the South only require a percentage of the development to be to M4(2) standards and this is commonly over a threshold for development size for example on developments larger than 20 or 50 dwellings. Requiring dwellings to be constructed to M4(2) standards requires plots to have a larger footprint and therefore impacts the number of houses and the viability of developments.
Part b of the policy should be re-worded to allow for 10% percent of dwellings on developments over 20 dwellings to accord to M4(2) standards.
