Deeley Group object to part (b) of policy H2 regarding Affordable Housing. It is considered that the threshold of sites of 5 or more dwellings or 0.17 hectares is too low and disregards the costs of developing small sites over larger one's. This policy will have an adverse effect on the ability of developers to bring forward small sites which can provide a valuable contribution to housing provision across the district. If a higher threshold is introduced this will encourage more sites to come forward and more affordable housing provision to be provided in the District.
