Representation Summary:

HC1 – Requiring 75% of all market housing proposals to be three bedrooms or less is overly prescriptive. Flexibility for changing market signals should be allowed.
HC2 – Density should be reflected on a site-by-site basis.
HC3 – A Stage 2 assessment will be needed having regard to the full range of infrastructure and other policy requirements.
HC4 –The 30% M4(2) requirement is excessive compared to the SHMA evidence on need for accessible and adaptable homes and means bungalows are not required.
HC7 – Consider the policy direction proportionate to the level of evidence.
HC11 –Object to nationally described space standards, which must be fully evidenced.
HC14/15 – Recommend engagement with the CCG and SCC Education to inform future IDPs.
HC17 – Distances should be identified to different open space typologies (e.g. LEAPs and LAPs) to ensure provision has regard to the wider area.
HC18 – Recommend engagement with Sport England and sports bodies to refine IDP.
EC3 – Question the purpose of this policy
NB2 – Policy is noted.
NB3 – Emerging evidence should inform policy.
