Trinity College supports the flexible approach to affordable housing provision provided in Policy LHN2. Whilst the 30% affordable housing seems high in these financially challenging times, and based on the findings of the GVA Housing Viability Study, the ability for this requirement to be reduced to reflect changing needs is welcomed.
To further clarify Policy in relation to housing being provided to help support business development, it would be useful to include specific reference to NE Bexhill, which requires housing development to contribute to the provision of infrastructure to support business development on new sites in North East Bexhill.
