Development Management Plan Consultation Document 3rd February - 27th April 2012

Representation ID: 3311

Representation Summary:

Option 1 'a single policy' - is the most appropriate option but not in its current form.

The guidance is excessive in respect of Option 1b which proposes internal space standards. The proposed standards are significantly above the HQI and even London Plan standards. The Homes & Communities Agency (HCA) measure the quality of housing schemes against Housing Quality Indicators (HQI), of which the size of units is just one indicator of ten that measure the overall quality.
