Representation ID: 60807
Received: 08/01/2014
Respondent: Mr and Mrs G Bull
Agent: Stansgate Planning
Representation Summary:
The Council, in paragraph 2.10, has correctly identified the key village housing issues:
-The shortage of housing for older people to allow them to downsize into accommodation which will meet their longer term needs whilst remaining close to their existing support network;
-A shortage of smaller homes for local families to buy and rent resulting in an aging population which in turn reduces support for the local services and facilities
-Often a shortage of larger family homes because the older residents are not able to downsize and free up the larger dwellings.
