Mr. John McCarthy:

The policy goes back to 2007 in the Delivering Homes, Sustaining Communities document. It is very much around making sure that we build sustainable communities. We have had experience over 20 or 30 years where we developed very large monotenure housing developments, some of which have worked. An awful lot, however, have not worked. Subsequently we have had to go in and do very significant regeneration projects. Each project would be considered on a case by case basis because each one is location specific. One could certainly envisage a 100 unit social housing project in an area where there is no social housing currently. If one wanted to put a 100 unit social housing project in to an area where there are already 500 or 600 social housing units that would be a different issue. On the overall scale there is no aversion-----
