Representation Summary:

Policy HC7 - Self & Custom Build Housing

In general, St Philips supports the proposed direction of travel for draft Policy HC7 as it would align with the requirement set out in the NPPF. St Philips consider that the Council’s policy should explicitly set out the evidence against which applicants should establish whether there is an ‘identified need’. In particular, St Philips notes that the Council does not publish annually any data on the
level of demand for SCHB, or how it has met its statutory duty to grant suitable permissions for the SCHB plots within the monitoring year.
