Unviable and unoccupied housing all have to be deducted from the targets which are therefore inflated, which will affect all shown quotas.
These and brownfield sites should be developed first – as per the policy.
There are too many unsubstantiated statements to be able to support this section, for example on the proportion of brownfield and affordable homes provided.
The quoted figures seem higher than in evidence.
In addition the need for affordable houses is greater than the national average.
The definition of affordable housing in terms of rent or mortgage needs to en revised downwards as other cities (eg Manchester) have done.
