Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1100

Received: 14/02/2017

Respondent: Mr William Cairns

Representation Summary:

There are simply some areas in the borough where 50% affordalbe housing will be too expensive both for local residents and others to consider for purchase. A better way of meeting this situation is needed so the balance may have to be addressed in other ways. I not sure how but I guess developers have to be encouraged to reduce their profit take or build more affordable homes in locations where the land is cheaper and ideally nearer to areas of employment.
