As for this policy, we are supportive of the form in which it currently stands but would welcome the inclusion or recognition of single storey dwellings to help release larger family homes (but this does have an impact on achieving densities).

The policy as drafted does not prevent single storey dwellings coming forward. Paragraph 5.26 supports a different housing mix where appropriate with regard to the nature of the development site and the character of the area.
Additionally Policy H8 and H10 support the delivery of specialist housing for older people and adaptable and accessible homes

With regard to the approach proposed around tenure mix, our view is that this requires further consideration. At a time when the delivery of social rent homes is critical, we believe that mix weighting needs to be increased. As a result, we would seek consideration given to seeing the provision of social rent increased to at least 35%, 30% shared ownership and 10% affordable rent.

The logic of this suggestion is understood in terms of the desirability of increasing the proportion of social rent. However, the proposed amendment would not increase the level of social rent (the policy already requires 35% as set out in the proposed amendment), all the amendment would do is reduce the amount of affordable rented accommodation in order to provide more shared ownership. Furthermore, any changes to the tenure mix at this stage would require reappraising the viability work.

We consider this needs to be better defined. Given the demographic changes and if the district wishes to see a greater proportion of specialist older people’s housing delivered at low cost, greater clarity is needed.
At present, we do not consider the existing reference to “opportunities should be taken….” to be sufficient to really drive delivery. However, any final policy should allow for flexibility in the provision of suitable housing relative to the site in question. We would also like to see a more universal policy, which takes into account disability and other need requirements.
We consider this needs to be better defined. Given the demographic changes and if the district wishes to see a greater proportion of specialist older people’s housing delivered at low cost, greater clarity is needed.
The Council agree that provision of specialist housing for the elderly is important and the council has put in place a positive, but flexible policy framework, which responds to the relevant evidence and national policy, in order to allow for such provision to be delivered.
In addition, Policy H10 Accessible and Adaptable Homes seeks to support the delivery of housing that can be adapted to different needs.
