"there is scope for an element of family sized homes" this seems rather worrying. In that the North East area will not be an inclusive mixed use area but will only be made up of singles or couples with those with families forced to moved out due to lack of supply of large residential properties.
Similar to above by primarily having "higher density apartment blocks" this will make the area less inclusive and only cater for those who want to live in an apartment. Not everyone does, this will reduce the types of people which the area attracts and likely put off older people and those with young children.
"Delivering 40% of all net additional units to be affordable housing" however "Affordable housing is housing which is deemed affordable to those with a median household income or below" which means affordable housing is required by 50% of population. So an extra 25% more affordable housing would be needed to not punish the less well off whilst making a surplus of proprieties for the other 50% of the population.
