Hingham Town Council support the policy that “Residential proposals should address the need for homes for all sectors of the community having regard to the latest housing evidence, including a variety of homes in terms of tenure and cost. New homes should provide for a good quality of life in mixed and inclusive communities and major development proposals should provide adaptable homes to meet varied and changing needs”
The Council would like to raise the a concern regarding the location of social houses within developments. These homes are often for families and are placed on less desirable plots within a development, with rear gardens adjacent to the main road, this will mean that children residing there will being exposed to increased levels of pollution and noise whilst playing in their gardens.
