REPORT

The Parish of St. Mary is fully aware of the pressing need for affordable housing Island- wide and the Parish is keen to play its part in providing appropriate parcels of land. This amendment proposes the inclusion of Field MY563 ("the Field") as an additional site under Policy H5. The Field is considered an ideal site for development by the Parish.

Field MY563 fits the criteria for appropriate housing sites, being smaller than 5 vergées and with connections to both mains drains and mains water. It is close to another Parish development and the Parishioners are in favour of this further development.

The  Parish  intends  that  this  development  provide  a  mix  of  housing  to  meet  a demonstrable existing need to provide affordable houses and to allow people to have a chance to own their own properties.

Financial and manpower implications

There are no financial or manpower implications in relation to the inclusion of the site as identified.

CRIA statement

This amendment has been assessed in relation to the Bridging Island Plan CRIA. Whilst this amendment will add an additional agricultural field to those already proposed to be made available for affordable housing, its aim is to increase the flexibility of the housing available within the Parish. These will ultimately benefit children growing up in the Island, who should have a right to live in suitable accommodation.
