Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 956

Received: 04/02/2019

Respondent: Liz Sagues

Representation Summary:

There must be insistence on a higher proportions of affordable housing.
It's downright silly to turn 'fractions' of homes into money - round up the requirement to whole homes.
Do not allow developers to wriggle out of responsibility for the percentage of affordable units they build - schemes must be properly costed initially and should not be approved if there is any doubt over whether they are viable.
