| Comment | COMMENT As you state elsewhere, inward migration (often from areas such as London) is a factor in Sevenoaks's growing population. Local prices and the availability of houses to first-time buyers will be skewed by more affluent incomers who have sold their properties in London. Many affordable developments in the District have been purchased as Buy-to-Let. Such activities distort an already broken housing market for first-time buyers. I see this as a challenge to the Plan. |
