Respondent: Mrs Louise Clarke

Representation Summary:

7.20 states that "The Local Plan will make provision for 10,800 new dwellings between 2011 and 2029 in three phases" this equates to 720 per annum.
The requirement for affordable housing states that a recent housing needs survey indicates a requirement for 698 affordable houses per annum...whilst I accept that house prices are generally high we cannot have a requirement for 97% of houses built to be affordable.
