Paragraphs 10.6 to 10.32

Social and economic conditions are currently exacerbated by a lack of choice of affordable housing and the seasonal and low-income nature of jobs associated with the tourism industry.

There is a chronic lack of affordable rented accommodation and thus we would ask a large proportion of new housing be designated for low cost rent. We believe the current stipulation is at 40%; we would ask the RDC in the Core Strategy to raise the required percentage for low cost rent to 60% in what they themselves define as a town with social and economic deprivation.
