HC1. Although it is welcome to see that there will be suitable provision for affordable housing for 1st time buyers, it is not clear what form this will take. Houses take up a much larger footprint than apartments, are more costly to build, use more resources and more costly to live in and maintain. There should be more accommodation in the form of apartments which have a significantly smaller footprint thereby reducing the need to use up precious land which, instead, could be used for biodiversity enhancements and bigger open spaces for residents.
