Strategic Growth Options
Representation ID: 12712
Received: 28/04/2015
Respondent: Persimmon Homes Essex
Representation Summary:
Persimmon Homes believes that there has historically been an undersupply of affordable housing in the Borough; it is presumed this could be due to the viability of schemes coming forward. If this is the case it should be ensured that a number of larger schemes are allocated which are more likely to be able to provide these much needed homes. The NPPF states that the policies contained within the Local Plan should not render schemes unviable and therefore early consultation with Developer Interests should be undertaken to try and establish a realistic affordable housing target.
