Policy HC1 - wording not sufficiently clear or flexible. Not clear if applications need to strictly accord with the SHMA. Requirement for 75% of homes to be less than 4 beds not flexible enough as evidence/viability may justify a different mix. Policy HC2 - blanket approach to density unlikely to be effective. Policy HC3 - term 'major residential development' should be defined. Policy should allow for clusters of 6-8 dwellings on medium sized sites. Reference to not supporting grant funding for Affordable housing coming through S106 should be removed. Policy HC4 - not clear if this policy requiring 10% bungalows. Not clear how the 30% requirement for M4(2) is evidenced/justified. Not appropriate to require 10% bungalows and M4(2). HC11 -requirement that all homes meet NDSS not supported as not currently evidenced/justified. If introduced will need to be some flexibility in the policy. Policy HC17 - the default requirement for on site play or the requirement for centrally located open space on all sites is not supported. The exclusion of small incidental green infrastructure (GI) without a clear recreational purpose from on-site open space provision is not supported. Policy HC18 - sports facilities standards should be defined in the policy itself.
