No

Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1442

Received: 15/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Andrew Burrow

Representation Summary:

I support the general approach but object to the diversion of funds away from areas taking development to those not taking development. The policy should be modified to state that preference for spending of money will be given to those areas taking housing.

The Policy should make reference to the New Homes Bonus paid by central government, again giving preference to spending allocation to those areas taking the housing.

Similarly money raised by SMBC selling land in communities for housing will be spent in the community taking the houses.
