This policy now requires that 35% of new dwellings, built on developments of 10 or more dwellings, are built to Building Regulations standard M4(2) and where affordable housing is provided a proportion of dwellings should be built to Building Regulations standard M4(3). There is no robust evidence to justify this requirement and without this we object to the Policy. However, we welcome the flexibility provided within the Policy which will ensure that the requirements do not hinder development in circumstances where it is not possible to accommodate the requirement and/or in case were the requirement would render the development unviable.
