Affordable Housing SPD

This Supplementary Planning Document will clarify the Council’s policies on affordable housing. It increases the proportion of affordable homes the Council will seek to negotiate a minimum of 30% affordable housing on new housing schemes and sets clear guidelines about how the Council will determine the type and tenure of new housing as well as its design and layout.
