Respondent: MACC Group

Agent: Claremont Planning Consultancy

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Policy P4C is not considered to be positively prepared or justified, and is therefore considered not to be sound. Clause 3 of this policy provides requirements for housing mix, which across the Borough this may represent an appropriate housing mix, it is considered unlikely that this will be appropriate in all locations and for all types of development. The HEDNA 2020 (paragraph 47) and the Housing Topic Paper (paragraph 117), both support a ‘flexible approach’ when applying housing mix. This should have regard to factors.

Change suggested by respondent:

Clause 3 of Policy P4C should be deleted and instead should seek to negotiate housing mix on a site by site basis.
