Housing Need and Requirement

We feel strongly that NO decisions should be taken about housing until after the Pandemic is over and commercial life revives. The plan including the core strategy were conceived and established during the period before either Covid 19 or Brexit became the main economic factors in the UK. Until the pandemic crisis is over and some economic stability is regained, people will not know where they want work and live, how much they will need to travel, how much they can afford on housing or the type of housing they need.

The emphasis at present should be on ensuring progress in building all those homes which already have planning permission, in order to meet current demand.
