The market dwelling mix detailed within Policy P4C 3 differs from the range in the referendum version of the Balsall Parish NDP and the HEDNA. The policy notes the factors that influence housing mix. A specific mix is counterintuitive and contradictory to other Plan policies, such as design. Paragraphs 186 – 190 state that a more flexible approach should be taken in relation to the policy, reflecting the findings of the HEDNA.
The mix range should be provided within a table contained within the supporting text which
accompanies the policy, as opposed to the policy wording itself.
The provision of a specific set percentage figures should be removed from Policy P4C and a range of unit sizes, as justified and evidenced within the HEDNA [Paragraph 8.32] provided instead within a table contained in the explanatory text which accompanies the policy.
