Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Representation ID: 11025

Received: 14/12/2020

Respondent: Minton (CdeB) Ltd

Agent: DS Planning

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Do not support the requirement in Para 172 that 40% of C2 schemes should be affordable. Consider the policy to be unsound and can find no evidence of viability testing. We further consider the policy will thwart delivery of good quality care schemes.

Change suggested by respondent:

Change paragraph 172 to say that policy 4A will allow certain C2 schemes with community facilities to be exempt.
Amend paragraph 172 to read as follows:
'Dwelling units classified as C2 will be exempt from the policy where the units directly benefit from communal facilities comprising 5% or more of the total gross floor space.’
