Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)
Representation ID: 1350
Received: 31/10/2023
Respondent: Mrs Elizabeth Turpin
Representation Summary:
As previously stated I understand there is a need to build more homes to ensure that local people have somewhere to live. That young people are able to move out of their parents accommodation. Can buy a property if they wish, or rent if they wish. But currently we are building properties that are too expensive for many local people. They will therefore continue to be out priced by others moving into the area and we will never meet our need. Developers will only build houses when they know they can sell them for the highest price.
