Representation Summary:
Policy 7.5 has had no regard to the provision of 'Starter Homes', as has been set out within the Housing and Planning Bill 2015. Under the Bill, Local Planning Authorities are under a duty to promote the supply of starter homes. It is acknowledged that it is currently unclear whether such a provision is to be made alongside or as part of overall affordable housing provision. However, the Local Planning Authority should acknowledge the Housing and Planning Bill 2015 and give consideration to its likely impacts, and how such requirements are to be dealt with by policy.
