Objection to Policy P4A it fails to differentiate between different types of housing, specifically between C2 and C3 developments, as well as establishing a difference between self-contained housing units and institutional facilities such as care homes. Including C2 Use Class makes it in conflict with NFPPF and PPG.
Amend to say
'The Council will require developers of allocated and windfall sites to make a contribution to affordable housing on residential sites of major development delivering self-contained (Use Class C3) dwellings, where 10 or more homes will be provided, or the site has an area of 0.5 hectares or more to meet the housing needs of the Borough'.
