Roger is totally right about the need for a mix of housing.
At the end of the day the market will decide on the mix.
If all we had were small modern chicken hutches, as soon as people get a bit more money in their pockets they will be off taking that money elsewhere. If you want better shopping and better leisure in Dover we must improve the demographic mix and that means we need more people with money in their pockets, disposable income. Starter homes are needed and must and will be part of the mix, I am certain.
Also if we want, as we need, to attract business into the Dover area, bringing jobs, then we will need the executive housing for their senior employees. There would be no more certain way to turn Dover into a low wage ghetto, worse than it is now, to just build 'low cost' starter homes.
