Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020
Representation ID: 14933
Received: 14/12/2020
Respondent: The Home Builders Federation Midland Region
Policy P4C (Bullet Point 3):
- The Council’s policy approach is inflexible and overly prescriptive.
- All households should have access to different types of dwellings to meet their housing needs. Market signals are important in determining the size and type of homes needed.
- Policy inconsistent with national policy (NPPF Para. 31, 61 and 62)
- The Council’s policy approach should acknowledge that not all sites will be able to meet an overly prescribed housing mix requirement because of site size, proposed development typology, site specific circumstances and viability.
Policy P4C should be re-considered and modified by the Council. Bullet Point 3 should be amended to be more flexible and less prescriptive by acknowledging that not all sites will be able to meet an overly prescribed housing mix requirement because of site size, proposed development typology, site specific circumstances and viability.
