AHOM1: Provision of Affordable Homes
Object to the removal of the reference to variation if there are impacts upon a proposal’s financial viability. This objection is to ensure that schemes can remain deliverable if unforeseen circumstances arise which were not accounted for in the LDP Viability studies. An example of this would be the impact of the current Nitrates position in the County. Note the reference in MAC033 INF1: Planning Obligations

Noted. Reference is made to the new paragraph set out within AHOM1 (MAC023) which makes provision for the affordable housing target percentage within the policy to be a target to be used as a starting point for affordable housing negotiations. Further clarity will be provided out within the Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance.

PSD14: Housing Density
Object to the blanket approach of a density of 50 dwellings per net hectare in settlement tiers 1-3 as this density is reflective of a very urban environment such as city locations. The County Council area does not have settlements of this scale and characteristic design. Therefore whilst we support the efficient use of land and ensuring appropriately high density schemes, 50 dwellings per hectare on a net basis is over ambitious for all of the key communities in Carmarthenshire.

Noted. The Council recognises the need for developments to be respectful and reflective of the characteristics of the settlement and site's context in the application of this policy. In this respect it would be supportive of additional clarification which would provide for such considerations.
