Representation Summary:
Housing mix for Shared Ownership does not comply with Neighbourhood Plan policy.
The continuing use of Housing Associations as the principal provider of such accommodation should be reduced to avoid the effect of ‘stair-casing’. Housing Associations provide their tenants (on a shared-ownership basis) the opportunity of removing the shared ownership by the Tenant’s ability to purchase the balance of the Freehold during their Tenancy. This consequently results in a permanent reduction of the availability in the number of affordable homes for ever.
