The statement "is no longer sustainable" is ambigous.

LDF's should be putting in place a long term spatial strategy for the future to provide a firm framework for investment decisions. It is not appropriate to justify a reduction in the housing target because of delays/deletion of the planned road infrastructure and the current economic conditions which should see improvement over the plan period.

The lowering of the housing target is explained by the delivery timescale for the road and the low past completion rates compared with the 280 SEP target. The CS should be providing an ambitous strategic framework. This objective is fulfilled in respect of the districts thinking for employment provision. The plan states at para 8.19 that employment targets will, stimulate provision i.e a very proactive approach. For housing, the CS is precautionary. This is even more important given the affordability issues affecting the district which will increase if the supply of housing is restricted.

The housing target should be 5600.For housing, the CS is precautionary and therefore does not provide a bold vision which the later SAD document can capitalise upon to help drive regeneration. This is even more important given the affordability issues affecting the district which will only increase if the supply of housing is restricted.

The justification for the reduction in the district housing requirement is not sound for the reasons explained in other representations to the CS.

Support for strategy but unsure where the inclusion of the statement "housing options for older households" derives from. This requirement has not been raised at pre-application meetings with LPA officers concerning the Preston Hall Farm site (within the adopted BX3 area.)
