The council does not build houses so it is not within its gift to say to ESCC or central government that 4200 homes will be built. It is within HBC gift to say they will build to an excellent standard regardless of the size of development to a holistic plan for the town & not to the poor get rich standard of some developers. If there is a minimum standard this must apply across the piece & not be dropped due to perseverance of applications. Standards are standards eg. ten metres is still ten metres be that measured in millimetres of centimetres.
Little or none of this is within your gift as you are at the mercy of developers & business; therefore the triggers that are put in place have to work in our favour & not theirs.
