Respondent: Guestling Parish Council
Policy HOU 1 Policy does not address the issue of developers changing the mix part way during a project. The requirement in 8.15 for development of 6 or more houses to provide a mix sets the level too high and should be lower to address the excessive building of 4+ bed executive homes
