Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 3507

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: UK Land Development (UKLD)

Agent: Savills

Representation Summary:

Government published their response to Starter Homes Technical Consultation on 07.02.17. Concluded they will not make 20% Starter Homes compulsory.
Intended that NPPF will be amended to introduce clear policy expectation that 10% of new development is affordable housing.
50% target is 10% higher than existing policy. No Viability work been undertaken yet.
As not supported by Government expectations or viability testing then consider 50% is inappropriately high and should be revised to according to viability work.
