Policy P4C does not provide flexibility and therefore is not effective in line with paragraph 35 of the National Planning Policy Framework. The mix of housing should be considered at application stage on a site by site basis. Not all sites will be able to meet an overly prescribed housing mix requirement because of size, type of proposed development, site specific circumstances and viability.
Indicative housing mix ranges should be included in Policy P4C in accordance with the HEDNA. The explanatory text should note that developers should be ‘encouraged’ not required to accord with the housing mix ranges and recognise that the mix should be agreed on a site by site basis.
