John Tyne challenges the plan

Thanks to John for writing these, what appear to me, sound points below.

1 The social housing is concentrated in separate blocks which could give rise to the "Slum Block" mentality where "private homes are kept separate to allow initial cost to rise as agents say "this block is private" but private landlords could still buy to rent.

2 More importantly in section 5 of the design an access statement "The Final Design Proposals" it gives a break down of the number of habitable rooms by category when you add the four blocks together the private housing totals 73.20%

This leaves only 26.8% of habitable rooms for social housing 

It should be noted that the emerging London Plan seeks 35% affordable homes and the inspectors report states in para194. "Policy H5 requires major development to provide affordable housing in accordance with the threshold approach , which is considered in the next section. Provisions relating to registered affordable housing providers receiving grant and the Mayor’s strategic partners91 reflect contractual conditions of funding under the Mayor’s affordable homes programme. Given their potential contribution to meeting the affordable housing target and the contractual obligations highlighted, the requirement for higher affordable housing provision in their cases is justified" Policy H6 which gives he breakdown seeks 35% affordable 

As the emerging plan should carry an increasing amount of weight this should be the target which the development looks to meet
