Representation ID: 1893

Received: 02/10/2013

Respondent: Crest Nicholson

Agent: Savills UK

Representation Summary:

In line with the NPPF (paragraphs 50 and 159), the Policy appropriately identifies that viability, which should be supported by a toolkit appraisal, shall be taken into account in the negotiation of rates of affordable housing.
Furthermore, Policy DM24 should allow for off-site contributions subject to a robust demonstration that such contributions would be necessary to mitigate the impact of development itself and a more viable option. This suggested approach would better accord with the NPPF (paragraph 187).
