Important that this policy reflects requirements of market fully. House builders are in best position to decide on range and mix of housing taking on board Council's desire, where appropriate, of any special Local Housing Need but policy should not be restrictive or unreasonable. Policy as worded is not reasonable and needs further clarification on this point.
Reference to Hatton Park restricts the number of dwellings to be built in phase one to 50 our of 80. This is ridiculous because it seeks to influence the market, the build period and economics of development on the site. No rational planning reason given and is Council interfering with release of sites and almost reverse phasing across H10 allocations contrary to NPPF and provides wholly uneconomic and restrictive policy element that should be deleted.
