Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Whilst we believe that we will need to have a limited amount of social rent a higher proportion should be shared ownership homes to try and give opportunities for those starting out on the housing ladder an opportunity to acquire a partial ownership in the village. Whilst we understand the motivation for WDC to state that they wish to retain the social units in perpetuity this will run counter to the requirements of lenders who do need to be able to exercise their rights in cases of extremis.

Part 1 -Setting the Scene and Summary
P01 - Preferred Level of Growth
OBJECT
It is agreed that some growth will be required during the 2014-2029 period to sustain an
economic and vibrant economy. An increase in homes of appropriate tenures will be
required but the level of growth based on the economic predictions certainly over the
next five years seems excessive especially when viewed against the economic
backdrop. This comment is supported by Office of National Statistics data which reveals
that the rate of increase of Gross Domestic Product has been falling since mid 2010 and
has yet to show signs of recovery. On this basis growth has been downgraded to 0.7%
from 0.8%. Predictions from the respected International Monetary Fund have revised
expectations of growth of 0.8% down to 0.2% with a very modest almost "flat
lining"growth of 0.6% in 2013. Accordingly the base figures being utilised are over
stated.
We believe that the demand for further housing in Norton Lindsey is limited and can be
adequately met by windfall sites and as has been historically the case utilising previously
used land and buildings.
Changes to Preferred Option 1 -adopt a more conservative growth pattern to
reflect market conditions which are likely to prevail over the first half of the Plan
period.
