Two Castles Housing Association have submitted plans for a development of 25 affordable residential properties (Use Class C3) including associated landscaping and highways works. A petition against the proposal has already been submitted with 175 signatures on it, claiming that there is not the need for these homes. We believe that this is incorrect and that there is very much the need for these houses. Young people, people who grew up in the area are being priced out of the market for homes in their home village. People who want to move back to the area aren't able to move back due to overpriced homes. The chances of being able to get a council property in the village are low, and something needs to be done about this.

The opposition keeps claiming there is no need for affordable housing while our friends and neighbors are forced out of the village they grew up in. I am tired of seeing people put their profit margins above the basic right of local families to have a roof over their heads. We are refusing to let these voices drown out the reality of this housing crisis.

Lived here my whole life and watched all my friends move away because they couldnt buy a place. Let them have a chance to stay.

My own kids cant afford to stay here and its heartbreaking. We need these houses so families dont get pushed out of their own village.

Ridiculous to say there is no need. Everyone knows prices are way too high for anyone starting out. Get them built.

Yes pls. Trying to move back home to be near my parents but it is impossible with current prices. This would be a lifesaver.
