The DCLG intervention letter puts the blame for current housing crisis on local government, whilst it is due to the lack of affordable homes and the policy of allowing oversea buyers to buy homes as investments. I suggest the Council get together with other councils, and Essex County Council so that they can help finance the legal fees for judicial review, to challenge the housing targets.

I fail to understand the justification for increasing the housing target by 30%, why would additional houses be provided if people cannot afford to buy or rent them? The number of new homes over 20years should be reduced to 5,600; with the exception of Dunton Hills, that target can be achieved without building on the Green Belt.

Object to providing additional housing that it can be bought up by overseas buyers for investment and there is already evidence that this is happening all over the country not just in central London.

Additional site to the rear of Grange Close Ingrave should be considered for development.
