PUBLIC MEETING
The wrong kinds of houses are being built at prices local people cannot afford. We need houses that local people can afford.
We object to the proposals on two counts: -
1 The development mix is unbalanced and weighted too heavily in favour of 4 bed market housing
2 Insufficient social rented affordable housing is proposed.
You will see that as well as testing the balance of the all tenure mix proposed for Lady Dane Phase 2 we have also undertaken a study looking at the six major schemes in Faversham approved under the current local plan. The headline output from the study of the major site is that a significant oversupply of 4 bed homes has been approved. This is a problem because the disproportionate allocation denies the provision of smaller homes to meet the needs of Faversham residents. ( Faversham Housing Needs Survey attached).
The Lady Dane Phase 2 proposal will compound this problem and the applicants must be encouraged to revise their submission with a more compliant balanced mix.
