Received: 13/03/2019

Respondent: Persimmon Homes Central

Representation Summary:

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. When planning for an acceptable mix of dwellings types to meet people's housing needs the Council should focus on ensuring that there are appropriate sites allocated to meet the needs of specifically identified groups of households such as families, older people and / or self-build rather than setting a specific housing mix on individual sites.

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. When planning for an acceptable mix of dwellings types to meet people's housing needs the Council should focus on ensuring that there are appropriate sites allocated to meet the needs of specifically identified groups of households such as families, older people and / or self-build rather than setting a specific housing mix on individual sites. The Council should ensure that suitable sites are available for a wide range of types of developments across a wide choice of appropriate locations (see answer to Question 2).
