Whilst it may be appropriate to define Seaside Character Areas to plan for their future, the current approach is prescriptive and in any event, premature.
Each character area should be considered and planned independently with consideration of options in each area.

Support approach which remains flexible to take account of revisions to the Strategic Housing Market Assessment, and which considers "The proposed affordable housing mix should not be treated as a definitive mix but rather a negotiated figure."
Factors likely to influence housing and tenure mix, including feasibility and viability should be clarified. Text should be drafted as policy in Submission Draft

Other housing matters should be considered in determining dwelling mix
Justification of affordable dwelling mix should have regard to SHMA, specific site feasibility and viability, public funding, affordability criteria and potential for of-site provision.

The policy requirement for 70% of all affordable housing provision to be social rented on all sites is too high and inflexible, especially having regard to the flexibility in approach set out in the accompanying text. .
The drafted policy should refer to the need to take into account the findings of an affordable housing toolkit assessment, local conditions (including existing dwelling mix in the locality), levels of affordability, feasibility of delivery and specific site viability when determining the level of social rented housing within any particular development.

The option is too inflexible, although the objective is laudable.
The policy when drafted should include wording "loss of bungalows and / or family housing will be resisted, unless their loss is part of redevelopment proposals which make equivalent or improved provision and / or meet other significant regeneration objectives."
