In line with the comments already made on point 1 of the sustainable growth strategy, the HBF considers that the level of housing proposed lacks ambition and is not in line with the Vale of Glamorgan's position as a regional growth area in Future Wales.
The words 'including a minimum of 3,070 affordable homes' should be changed to ' a target of 3,070 affordable homes'. The reason for this is that a minimum suggests that it should be more; however, other relevant housing policies are worded to provide for a defined number or target. This change in wording does not stop more from being delivered.
The approach to limiting housing development, other than affordable-led schemes with a minimum of 50% affordable, in the identified towns and villages, restricts the ability of SME developers and, therefore, the range of homes that might be provided by the plan.
The HBF questions the wording under the heading 'Infrastructure', which is not appropriate wording, as it is part of the plan's role to identify the necessary infrastructure to deliver the level of growth proposed. The provision of infrastructure, which is necessary for development, is covered by other policies in the plan.
Why is the housing flexibility allowance figure not included in this policy?
