Representation Summary:

Policy P4B is supported, however as shown through the attached paper on housing (Appendix 2) the scale of the need is much higher than that currently being planned for. Not planning sufficiently for affordable housing as part of an increased housing requirement at the necessary strategic scale will place more pressure upon local communities to allow exceptions sites. ‘Exceptions’ should be just that: occasional sites to meet a particular local need, not further sites to address deficiencies in a strategic borough-wide plan.
