Representation Summary:
The policy is very precise on smaller sites and the amount of affordable housing required.
Whilst we accept that the Borough has a high level of housing need, such a prescriptive policy for smaller development sites is likely to have an effect on development viability and may ultimately affect the delivery of smaller sites.
Similarly the requirement for 'at least' 35% affordable dwellings may cause viability problems for the delivery of some larger sites. Setting a 35% target for all sites of 15 dwellings or more would be more realistic and more effective in delivering housing sites across the Borough.
