Hastings Local Development Framework - Core Strategy Informal Consultaton 27 June - 8 August 2011
Representation ID: 1873
Received: 05/08/2011
Representation Summary:
The approach to Affordable Housing does not reflect the evidence base and is therefore inconsistent with PPS12. The rigid percentage approach does not provide a suitable amount of flexibility to account for changing circumstance in affordable provision over the plan period. It is recommended that the minimum requirement in tables a) and b) of the policy is deleted and replaced with a target requirement.
The Council should address recommendations in the evidence base for Greenfield development, specifically that no higher than 40% affordable provision should be sought. Savills, on behalf of Stuart Lyons, object to the current policy approach.
