Housing Policy Technical Guidance SPD

Representation ID: 16085

Received: 12/02/2023

Respondent: Mr Darren Brooker

Representation Summary:

I am concerned that wording of the document does not adequately consider existing neighbourhood plans, especially where the existing neighbourhood plan is based upon more local and/or more up-to-date information (such as a more recent Housing Needs Survey). This could lead to developers exploiting the solution that best meets their own objectives, rather than the objectives of the Local Plan and/or Neighbourhood Plan.
