Representation Summary:
Question whether it would be possible to implement criteria g. (availability at a cost low enough for them to afford, determined with regard to local incomes and local house prices ) in practice given the provisions set out in the Housing and Planning Bill. Anticipated that, once the Bill has been passed, local authorities will be under a duty to promote the supply of starter homes regardless of local needs. We would therefore request justification on how this element of the policy would work in practice, and suggest the wording of this element of the policy will evolve once the Bill has been passed.
