Cllr David Taylor emphasized the necessity of utilizing land effectively, stating, 'If that land is going to be left as rubble for five to seven years then I am certainly not adverse to putting it to good use.' His concern is focused on the delay and urgency in addressing housing needs.
The report states that there is an urgent requirement for housing solutions, with Cllr Taylor noting, 'We have an urgent need to house people in the borough.' This supports the rationale for building temporary homes.
Cllr Taylor expressed his concern regarding costs, questioning, 'Why you couldn't just buy 18 more homes?' He highlights the expense of modular homes compared to traditional home purchasing.
Mark Butler, assistant director for regeneration, noted, 'These (18 temporary homes) are supplemental,' likely hinting at their role in bridging the immediate housing gap until permanent solutions are in place.
