Taylor Wimpey believes that there is considerable scope to refine the draft SPD in order to ensure that the Council's aspirations are met, without stifling development or compromising viability. These are set out in our attached representations and subsequent responses.

This section must be amended to acknowledge that the principal evidence base, the 2015 JSHMA, is outdated and potentially inconsistent with subsequently revised national policy and guidance.
It should also explicitly recognise the value of secondary datasets for the purposes of assessing local housing needs within villages and rural areas, and make clear that such alternatives to primary household surveys exist.
Our attached representations expand upon these concerns.

The SPD must aim to provide the greatest possible flexibility, avoiding unnecessary financial burdens and allowing schemes to reflect their local context.
Acknowledging the dated nature of the JSHMA will ensure that there remains sufficient scope and flexibility to depart from the specified mix of affordable housing types and tenures where justified by more up-to-date evidence.
Taylor Wimpey objects to the proposed rounding of fractions, as any calculations must accord with standard mathematical principles.
The methodology for calculating off-site financial contributions should be revised.
Our attached representations expand upon these concerns.

The draft SPD must be amended to recognise the value of secondary datasets for the purposes of assessing housing needs, as an alternative to primary household surveys that have inherent limitations.
Our attached representations expand upon this point.
