Respondent: A.C. Lloyd Homes Ltd

Agent: Delta Planning

Representation Summary:

A.C.Lloyd (Asset Management) Ltd wish to object to the wording in relation to student accommodation and HMOs at Policy PO6.

In particular, the current wording suggests that new student accommodation/HMOs will be required to meet locational criteria to ensure they are not located in areas which already have a high concentration of such accommodation. It is our contention, however, that in order to accord with advice within NPPF, locational criteria should be based principally on sustainable development criteria such as access to services and facilities and public transport links to the university.
