Mill Road Depot Draft Planning and Development Brief SPD

Representation ID: 30989

Received: 13/06/2016

Respondent: Mr Peter Joseph

Representation Summary:

Will there be any safeguarding of owner-occupier sales? A chief concern for many in Romsey and Petersfield is the amount of new housing stock that is being bought up by buy-to-let - and it seems by a large number of non-UK investors. We ask that the Council acts to preclude this sort of sale, to encourage local people to own. Perhaps via some sort of cheaper access to mortgage, and giving particular consideration to workers in local industry and the NHS.
