Object to level of affordable housing sought.
Increase from 40% to 50% is likely to be a viability exercise for all schemes.

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.

Representation ID: 4094

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: Persimmon Homes Central

Consider it is more appropriate to allocate specific sites for new build, rather than obliging developers to provide 5% of their open market dwellings as self-build.
We would advise that smaller sites accommdoting ca. 20 self-build homes would be more appropriate.
