Representation ID: 63222
Received: 08/01/2014
Respondent: Mrs E Brown
Agent: Stansgate Planning
Representation Summary:
Paragraph 2.10 has correctly identified the key village housing issues. Support their understanding of these problems and their recognition of a need to direct new housing to a range of more sustainable villages:
-The shortage of housing for older people to allow them to downsize into accommodation which will meet their longer term needs and allow them to remain in their home settlements and
-Shortage of smaller homes for local families to buy/rent results in an aging population which reduces support for the local services/facilities.
-Shortage of larger family homes because older residents cannot downsize to free up large dwellings.
