Adopted Affordable Housing SPD
Our Affordable Housing SPD (PDF, 1.8mb) was adopted in 2008 and a draft update was consulted on in 2011 (PDF, 1.5mb). The SPD sets out our approach to securing affordable housing as part of residential development. It expands on the policies contained within our Development Plan.
Visit our affordable housing monitoring page to learn about what we mean by 'affordable housing'. Following the introduction of affordable rent, we clearly explained our affordable housing policies in this report which was agreed at planning committee in December 2011 (PDF, 68kb).
