Key Points

The Park Drive site is the most accessible and sustainable location, within easy walking distance to all of the facilities of Bramley.
The existing allotments will be relocated to the adjoining field and increased by 50% in size, offering enhanced opportunities for local residents.
The recently updated Housing Needs Survey (HNS) 2023 for Bramley identified a need for 25 Affordable dwellings. There will be hidden need, further increasing this number, as stated in the HNS.
Since 2009 a total of 17 Affordable properties have been built in Bramley...all of which were delivered through Planning Permissions secured by Paul Hunt Investments Ltd.
Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) in July 2021 calculated that Waverley residents would need to pay 12.57 times annual salary (£41,377) to afford the average house price (£520,000).

The overwhelming need for houses in Bramley prioritises the provision of 1-3 bed properties. This caters to identified affordable housing needs, with those for young families and the ability for older people to downsize, while remaining in the area.
The downsizing aspect helps to free up larger properties, allowing for a greater emphasis on smaller homes on-site. Focusing on the 1-3 bed dwellings improves the property market...offering greater choice for first time buyers.
The proposed scheme aligns perfectly with the recently adopted Bramley Neighbourhood Plan ( Jan 2022).
All dwellings will be designed in a tenure blind manner, eliminating any differences in the style, design and use of materials between market and affordable houses.
