Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 9407

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mr M Trentham

Representation Summary:

The Council would also do well to consider that such rules might produce exactly the opposite result from that intended. building more small market homes, developers will build fewer but larger affordable dwellings, in order to preserve the profitability of the development. In such a case you may well end up with fewer than 40% by number. Another effect of being over-generous with affordables is that the occupiers will have no incentive to move out and acquire market housing of their own, even when they become financially able to buy, so more and more affordables will be required.
