Representation Summary:
Hallam Land Management considers that the proposed Policy for Residential Space Standards set out in Policy DM6, whilst welcome, deserves expansion to encourage new developments to embrace the changes to working patterns with a housing offer that can facilitate choices to work from home, reflecting changes to working patterns arising through the Covid-19 pandemic. Offering a wider choice of homes that make provision for working from home would be beneficial in further reducing the need to travel and increasing support for local services and facilities.
