Draft Affordable Housing SPD

Representation ID: 28575

Received: 14/07/2014

Respondent: Carter Jonas

Agent: Carter Jonas

Representation Summary:

The general sentiment in this paragraph is accepted; however regard must also be had to existing use value. We can think of a number of small sites where schemes of up to 14 units would not have been viable had affordable housing been required, for example where existing houses need to be demolished, or in the case of commercial sites. The relevance of existing use value (EUV) should be specifically referenced in this document.
