Respondent: Battle Town Council

Housing Development: Agree that if it is to continue to thrive some change is necessary. It does not accept however that one of the necessary ingredients to achieve this is growth in terms of new housing allocations. It may be a requirement of Government that additional allocations are identified across the District but accommodating this requirement is very different from arguing that additional housing is needed.
Question the appropriateness of basing new allocations on the town's service role. Argue that there is an equally strong case to be made for adopting either the population or trend based option.
