Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan - Options and Preferred Options

Representation ID: 22619

Received: 20/02/2017

Respondent: Salehurst & Robertsbridge Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group

Representation Summary:

In the SRNP we recognise the key need for affordable dwellings to maintain the sustainability of the community. In our Policy HO6 we are proposing that any development of 6 or more houses should provide on-site 40% minimum affordable housing. We also do want to ensure that all the affordable provision is made in our village, given that a financial contribution if allowed, may mean the housing is provided elsewhere, to the detriment of this village. Of the options given, we therefore select Option C as being the closest to our principles.
