Representation Summary:

Policy DM3(S) Housing mix is a good start but completely misses the need to focus on the need, in rural areas, for housing for older people. Retaining downsizing older people in their rural communities is essential.
You have Policy 67 Affordable housing to meet local needs in the rural area and Policy 68 Accommodation for rural workers. These policies support younger people and we need an additional policy in place, to support housing for older people in rural areas.
