Agent: Mr Andrew Lowe

The SPD must aim to provide the greatest possible flexibility, avoiding unnecessary financial burdens and allowing schemes to reflect their local context.
Acknowledging the dated nature of the JSHMA will ensure that there remains sufficient scope and flexibility to depart from the specified mix of affordable housing types and tenures where justified by more up-to-date evidence.
Taylor Wimpey objects to the proposed rounding of fractions, as any calculations must accord with standard mathematical principles.
The methodology for calculating off-site financial contributions should be revised.
Our attached representations expand upon these concerns.
