Draft Local Plan Review
Representation ID: 4093
Received: 17/02/2017
Respondent: Persimmon Homes Central
Object to level of affordable housing sought.
Increase from 40% to 50% is likely to be a viability exercise for all schemes.
Up-to-date viability assessment should be published for comment.
Level of affordable housing and tenure split must reflect evidence in viability assessment as well as SHMA.
Must consider how level of affordable housing could prejudice realisation of other planning objectives.
Should the Council's development brief for each site allocation include details of likely market housing, then this needs to be evidenced by SHMA in combination with commerical knowledge of local market.
Please find attached Persimmon Homes Central's representations in response to the draft plan published November 2016. Also attached are our site specific representations regarding our site at Tythe Barn Lane, Dickens Heath, which forms part of the strategic allocation.
