Representation Summary:

This policy allows for a maximum provision of 50 dwellings plus 5%. 5% flexibility is not sufficient to compensate for the lack of housing provision in Hockley Town Centre.

The Draft Pre-Submission Allocations DPD presented to the LDF sub-committee on 30/11/2012 acknowledged this shortfall and said 'it would need to be accounted for through ensuring flexibility elsewhere'. This flexibility has not been provided at this site or other sites within this document and therefore housing need will obviously not be met.
