Representation ID: 13837

Respondent: Living Space Housing Ltd

Representation Summary:

Living Space encourage the inclusion of Policy CSP3 as a support to Policy CSP2 and in it’s own right. The Policy recognises the importance of the Urban Edge areas for accommodating growth. These areas are as sustainable and suitable for development, and will create a variety of new homes for the District. Furthermore, releasing greenfield sites from the Green Belt for housing development ensures that there is suitable complementary development to the proposed regeneration of brownfield sites. Greenfield sites often do not have the same viability complications as brownfield sites, meaning they can provide more benefits such as a higher affordable housing provision and higher Section 106 contributions for the Local Community.
