The idea of providing a mix of dwelling types in both size and tenure is supported, however, it is considered that to make a specific requirement that a proportion of the affordable housing to be three bedroom dwellings is too prescriptive, and such a requirement is better placed within a relevant Supplementary Planning Document.
Requirements relating to the size of dwellings may change over the plan period in response to changes in demographics. Housing should be provided which meets housing need as identified by a plan, monitor and manage approach.
