Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 9495
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Catesby Estates Limited
Agent: WYG
Representation Summary:
Proposed policy threshold above which affordable housing is required should accord with Government policy which states that affordable housing should only be sought on sites of more than 10 dwellings (or where the gross floorspace exceeds 1.000 sqm).
Calculation by floorspace not fully justified or consistent with national policy and confuses requirement with housing mix/type of housing. Alternative approach will not provide clear indication of requirement, and is not justified through viability assessment.
