Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)

Representation ID: 615

Received: 25/10/2023

Respondent: Mrs Daniela Baylis

Representation Summary:

The current methodology used to determine housing need is flawed and needs revision. Affordable housing prices should be set at either the national average restricted to medway residents that are first time buyers living either with parents or in rented accommodation or based on the mortgage amount available to someone on the average medway wage. This would enable local residents to be able to buy a property in their local area.
