Received: 31/10/2017

Respondent: Ashby Parva Parish Meeting

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

This policy (H2) should be more specific. 75% affordable or socially rented is too vague and could be 15% socially rented and 60% 'affordable' 10% + 65% or other. If policy B2 goes through there will be a demand for socially rented housing in Lutterworth East SDA as wages on Magna Park are low and will no doubt remain so, making it impossible to buy. Also many employees are temporary or on zero hours contracts, making mortgages unavailable.
