Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation
Representation ID: 412

Respondent: JTS Partnership LLP
Representation Summary:
Whilst we recognise the need to provide affordable housing within the Borough, we welcome the Council's understanding that such provision can potentially impact upon the viability of a scheme. Accordingly, JTS welcomes, and supports, the final paragraph of the policy.
We also consider that the policy should not seek any affordable housing provision on sites of less than 15 units. On smaller sites (14 units and below) it is often physically, or logistically, difficult, or financial disadvantageous, to include affordable housing on site. These problems become more acute, the smaller the site gets.
