Considering representations in respect of Policy DM1, to burden development which has already been found to be of lesser viability is wholly innappropriate. This effectively means that all older persons housing, will have to go through the delay and uncertainty of a review mechanism even though it is proven that such schemes will be unable to deliver policy complaint levels of affordable housing. This will impact on sites coming forward for much needed older persons accommodation
