Ipswich Borough Council Local Plan Core Strategy and Policies Development Plan Document Review - Final Draft

Representation ID: 26585

Received: 02/03/2020

Respondent: Bloor Homes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

The plan allocates a total of 1,647 affordable dwellings
(assuming 30% IGS and ISPA4 and 15% on all other sites including windfall). In all likelihood this is overly optimistic given that most windfall sites are likely to be small and fall below the threshold set in Policy CS12. Based on the 239 dwellings per year in the SHMA, this would result in 38% of the affordable need. This is insufficient. Contrary to NPPF 20 and PPG. The Site can come forward to provide market and affordable housing to assist with meeting the need, working with East Suffolk.

Change suggested by respondent:

Allocate the Site at Humber Doucy Lane to help address the affordable housing shortage.
