New searchWe agree for the need for housing. What is lacking within the vision is affordable and specialist housing which should be a core item identified within the Community section. Without a diverse demographic, the proposal will lack vibrancy.
Essentially this section seems to completely overlook the need for affordable housing which has limited mention. It does not explain how affordable housing will be incorporated, at what level (presumably the local plan level) and whether the affordable housing will be social rent or affordable rent, first homes etc. The affordable housing needs to be a local plan level, presumed 30% and be included across the entirety of the development with consideration towards specialist housing including M4(3) and extra care or supported housing.

The delivery of the proposals should allow for the promotion and development of land using SME developers including registered providers of affordable housing. 100% affordable housing schemes should be allowed within the framework plan which can then be developed out solely by RP's. Reliance on national housebuilders should be minimised, as built out rates will be slower. Management and estate charges should be split on per m2 basis rather than per dwelling - this should be set out in s106 agreements. Affordable housing should promote social rent as the tenure of choice ahead of affordable rent.
