This policy looks for all major residential development (10 or more units) to incorporate a mix of housing types, sizes, prices and tenures. It suggests the exact mix should be based both on market demand and evidence of local housing need.
EMFL understands the need for a mix of house types, sizes and tenures and is generally supportive of providing a range and choice of homes to meet the needs of the local area.
A flexible approach is recommended that recognises that needs and demand will vary from area to area and site to site; ensures that the scheme is viable; and provides an appropriate mix for the location and market.
To this end EMFL considers the allocation of a single small site (less than 10 units) site in East Morton is unlikely to provide an appropriate mix for the future needs of the community.
