Box 20 - Percentage of Affordable Housing

Representation ID: 19304

Received: 30/01/2009

Respondent: AmicusHorizon Ltd (Rother Homes)

Representation Summary:

There is an intrinsic risk, given the current market position, of a over zealous reliance on Developer led Section 106 Planning Gain schemes progressing.
The overall numbers of homes seems reasonable and achievable although the ratio of homes from S106 will be, in our opinion, lower than thouse mentioned.

Box 20 - Preferred Strategy for Housing

Representation ID: 19305

Received: 30/01/2009

Respondent: AmicusHorizon Ltd (Rother Homes)

Representation Summary:

We support the intention to maximise the number of affordable homes coming through the Planning system. That said there needs to be a degree of flexibility in both the percentage of affordable homes on specific sites as well as the tenures of said homes. We support the use of the term 'Intermediate' tenure and this does indeed allow other home ownership products to be utilised as and when required.

Box 20 - Type of Affordable Housing

Representation ID: 19307

Received: 30/01/2009

Respondent: AmicusHorizon Ltd (Rother Homes)

Representation Summary:

It is good to see the flexibility in the percentage figures of proposed affordable tenures. This, to a certain degree, will allows for market fluctuation and specific micro markets in certain areas

Box 20 - Housing mix, homelessness and Private Sector Housing Renewal

Representation ID: 19309

Received: 30/01/2009

Respondent: AmicusHorizon Ltd (Rother Homes)

Representation Summary:

The housing needs of Rother were last captured and published via the Housing Market Assessment in 2006, as with most HMA's we have been involved with, they are only as good as the last update they have had.
We have a concern that the social properties procured via Planning Gain will not necessarily meet the current needs of the Borough - the gestation period for a large S106 site is historically many years too which exacerbates this problem. The needs figures need regular updating.
