Representation Summary:

We object to the proposed affordable housing policy, T3, which requires rates of 30% affordable housing in the Hoo Peninsula. This proposed policy is based on outdated evidence and does not take into account rural brownfield sites, which generally cost more than greenfield sites to be bought forward. It is considered that this approach could be considered in tension with the GO 3 growth option which promotes brownfield first principles for development.
