HC1 - Understand the need to provide a greater number of 2 and 3 bed properties however, it is important to note that each development should be assessed on a case by case basis with the merits of each proposal taken into consideration. Also, the requirement for the key considerations and characteristics of the site and the area in which the development it ot take place should be considered.

Therfore, consider a level of flexibility should be applied to housing mix to ensure diversity and prevent all development looking the same and lacking distinctness,

HC3 - Welcome the introduction of 30% affordable housing which considered is an improvement. There is a requirement for a contribution to meeting the needs of the District's ageing population in policy HC4 as previously stated and it important to ensure that there is a level of flexibility and diversity on sites so individuality is achieved.
