Representation ID: 56649
Received: 25/11/2021
Respondent: Gamlingay Parish Council
Support the policy which provides 40% affordable housing. This should be on ALL developments, not just developments of more than 10 dwellings.

H/ES: Exception sites for affordable housing
Representation ID: 56650
Received: 25/11/2021
Respondent: Gamlingay Parish Council
Exceptions sites should only be granted permission if they have the full support of local communities/Parish Councils. Concern about market housing being included within this policy. Custom/self build will also create scheme management and maintenance issues, due to unpredictability of length of build and that the properties will be 'built and sold on'- which negates the aspiration of this policy to create stable communities. Resale of self builds should be restricted for at least 5 years after completion.

H/HM: Housing mix
Representation ID: 56651
Received: 25/11/2021
Respondent: Gamlingay Parish Council
Smaller units- 1&2 beds should be designed so that they can not be extended . The existing housing stock in the rural areas in the past 30 years has been flooded with larger 4 bed+ executive housing, and smaller 2 and 3 bedroom housing units have been extended, reducing the pool of smaller 1&2bedroom homes on the housing market. The proposed proportionof 4 bed+ market housing in the rural area is therefore too high- 25-35%. This figure should be reduced.

H/SS: Residential space standards and accessible homes
Representation ID: 56654
Received: 25/11/2021
Respondent: Gamlingay Parish Council
Support M4(3) provision although only 5% of affordable homes (over 20 units) it should be higher. There should be an element of future proofing new dwellings . Building to these standards should not just consider the initial occupation of the property.

H/CB: Self and custom build homes
Representation ID: 56655
Received: 25/11/2021
Respondent: Gamlingay Parish Council
Self build and custom builds- there should be a condition on the length of time the occupant must remain in the dwelling/ prevent resale. Timescales on build out is a problem in established residential areas, and the situation/proximity to non self build homes (noise and disturbance)
