Respondent: Hockley Heath Parish Council

Disagree with the 50% affordable housing figure. The allowance for financial contributions where on-site provision is not feasible or viable gives too much leeway to developers meaning that affordable housing is being provided in concentrated sites rather than being spread equitably throughout new developments.
Affordable housing should be integrated into communities by being part of a mix of housing provision not built 100% on one development which this policy may indirectly encourage.
Policy 4B - do not consider these two criteria are sufficient to override building on green belt land. Should be integration with existing communities.
