Mr R Huckett & Ms C<br />

Mobbs<br />

Affordable housing has only become an issue because successive governments have reduced housing subsidy to local<br />

authorities - this has resulted in private rented accommodation increasing, to the extent where rents are vvastly inflated and<br />

ordinary uk citizens can neither afford to buy or rent. Bricks and mortar are not the problem, just the Government politicans<br />

022<br />

who make the policies. Why doesn't the Government give local authorities same funds as housing associations?<br />

Not an issue. It's always been difficult to get onto the first rung <strong>of</strong> housing ladder and always will be. If kids stop drinking<br />

026 Mr A Lantaff About right.<br />

027 Mr B Fuller We do not need more affordable housing.<br />

Cheap affordable housing norm<strong>all</strong>y ends up a slum. People willing to work and pay their own way in life, should be given<br />

028 Mr J Lickfold<br />

decent housing in the first place, which would last longer.<br />

No, the amount <strong>of</strong> affordable housing built is piliful. Why are developments always executive housing? First time buyers<br />

029 Mr White<br />

should be encouraged more or eventaully the whole buying process will collapse.<br />

"Affordable" Housing is not provided by the Council and is not re<strong>all</strong>y relevant unless there is adequate work in the area. If<br />

030 Mr H May<br />

the Governmnent has set your target at 4,600, you have little choice.<br />

Affordable housing is an issue but the figure should be lower. Affordable housing should be built close to jobs - reduce<br />

commuting. There are many brown field sites where affordable housing could be built. Affordable housing tends to be short<br />

Yes, it is an issue. Too many young copules are struggling to find somewhere to live so there should be more council run<br />

Affordable housing must be available for the young and not open to opportunist, labour saving, environment<strong>all</strong>y friendly<br />

solar possible for new design.<br />

035 Mr B Deal No, the only affordable housing that seems to be being built is retirement homes.<br />

I feel that a full time wage earner should not have to budget more than half <strong>of</strong> his/her salary just on accommodation. House<br />

prices must reflect earnings and loans should abide by the old format <strong>of</strong> calculating mortgages by 3 x salary PA maximum.<br />

036 Mrs P Slade<br />

This will then natur<strong>all</strong>y bring house prices down.<br />

No you have not got the figure right, there does not appear to be any affordable housing? I have not seen any kind <strong>of</strong><br />

property for sale at under 100K for years! How is a young person earning between 12/20K per year even able to get on the<br />

037 Mr A Bawden<br />

ladder?<br />

We have built far too many high priced houses, which have been bought by moneyed people from outside the area. This<br />

038 Mr J Wright<br />

adds a burden on our schools, hopsitals etc. each one <strong>of</strong> these adds at least two cars to our roads.<br />

039 Ms D Quinn Affordable housing - is a major issue more subsidised housing necessary<br />

040 Mr D Huskisson<br />

I coulnd't find a figure for A.H. in your article. Nor can I find a definition for the term. Surely everything is "affordable"<br />

because overpriced housing does not stay on the market long at that price and eventu<strong>all</strong>y gets sold. If you are going to<br />

have to accommodate 3,700 additional homes by 2021, the use <strong>of</strong> planning gain to subsidise "affordable" housing seems a<br />

realistic proposition because <strong>of</strong> the apparently insatiable demand that is driving up prices (and developers pr<strong>of</strong>its). I am very<br />

concerned about the future stability <strong>of</strong> our society if our young people do not have access to homes <strong>of</strong> their own.
