3 responses from Mrs Claire Benbow, Grange Town Council
1. Mrs Claire Benbow, Grange Town Council   :   2 Dec 2015 10:57:00
Policy Area and Topic
Housing - Starter Homes Exceptions Site Policy
Please make your comments below on the Policy Area / Topic you have selected. Where appropriate, make reference to the Option you prefer and the question number referred to in the Discussion Paper.
Option 2 is most appropriate.
80% cap should be the maximum, not the required - the cap could be lower.
There is a high demand for rented homes in the Grange area - the number of these would be reduced under this scheme - this is a concern.
The Neighbourhood Plan policies require more rented homes - so that provision in the area reflects demand and is related to (low) local wages.
Concerns raised about the quality of 'starter homes'.

Sustainable Travel and Access - Parking Provision
Please make your comments below on the Policy Area / Topic you have selected. Where appropriate, make reference to the Option you prefer and the question number referred to in the Discussion Paper.

New policy should be realistic about the numbers of cars per house and make provision for cycle parking.
