Representation ID: 559

Respondent: Hansteen Holdings Plc

Representation Summary:
Concern about prescriptive nature for 50% of homes on sites greater than 0.2ha to be 1 or 2 bed - generally flats or high density development, which may not be appropriate in master-planning for West Horndon. Local residents are concerned about development dominated by flats. Our market testing shows there is demand for a range of house types, mostly 2-3 bed. Concern that a prescriptive requirement would be detrimental to the masterplan, both in market demand and local views. Also unclear what is meant by "particular house types provided, such as bungalows, remain available in perpetuity" - seek clarification.
