Representation ID: 26586

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

There is a disconnect between Policy CS8 seeking a mix of housing to meet the identified needs and site allocations, contrary to national policy. 61% of dwellings proposed are at a high density. These are likely to be small flats and over saturate this market. 13% of dwellings will be low density and predominantly houses, we question if this will meet the actual housing mix identified in qualitative terms or the overall need figure. IGS only likely to deliver post 2024 so there is a need for 3-bedroom and larger homes in early plan period. The Site can deliver this.

Change suggested by respondent:

Allocate Site at Humber Doucy Lane to deliver a mix of housing that reflects SHMA in early plan period.
