Representation Summary:

I believe that the houses being built should create balanced communities to ensure that they are able to support the lifecycle of house ownership ie communities should provide a balance of starter homes, family houses (3,4&5 bedrooms) of tenures to support progression from starter homes (ie if 2 bed shared ownership homes are available there should be 3 bed shared ownership homes to progress to) and then bungalows to downsize to when appropriate. Housing need surveys should be taken into account but often give a limited snapshot rather than balancing a community.

Representation Summary:

Proposed densities are too low and result in too much landtake. It is possible to design high quality new develop ment at 100 or even 200 dph.
Concentration should b on smaller units rather than family housing to enable larger units to be freed up for younger families
