Welcomes allowance for flexibility to take into account specific circumstances and viability considerations. Housing mix also needs to take into account master planning and viability. The inclusion of rental housing for specific sectors is supported subject to recognition that provision is dependent on registered providers being willing to develop and manage.
Richborough Estates Limited acknowledge that the Solihull SHMA could inform the mix of market housing which might be delivered within the Borough. Richborough Estates welcomes the drafting of Policy P4 which allows for flexibility to take into account the circumstances of the site and a particular housing development. It is vital that the location and other characteristics of a site are fully considered if there is to be a proper sense of placemaking and a scheme's design and layout reflecting the site's context.
Further, the recognition that viability can be a factor when assessing the housing mix is welcomed.
