Representation Summary:
Sufficient flexibility should be included to ensure account is taken of up to date market demand in addition to the SHMAs. If developers feel that there is no demand for a particular type of property they wont build it.
There is no national policy which requires the provision of lifetime homes and there is no justification which supports 25% provision.
The provision of extra care housing is supported however these have specific requirements in terms of site location and suitability different to market housing therefore the policy shouldn't be applied too rigidly so not to sterilise pieces of land.
