Development Management Plan Consultation Document 3rd February - 27th April 2012
Representation ID: 2803

Representation Summary:
Housing - we strongly feel that the target figure needs to be re considered given that there are now no nationally pre set targets to meet. We would suggest that the town is big enough and when all empty properties were brought back into use the need for new build would be substantially reduced. We would wish to see the empty homes figures used as part of the housing target.
There should be a policy dealing with conversion of garden sheds to dwelling, preferably discouraging this practice.
