Agent: DHA Planning

Representation Summary:

Our client welcomes the differentiation policy when delivering affordable housing on greenfield (30%) and brownfield sites 10%. We also support the proposal to allow a viability assessment to be undertaken if affordable housing delivery is not possible even at the 10% level for viability reasons.

It is considered that the policy should use percentages led by the need requirement set out in Table 7.1 of the Local Housing Needs Assessment to inform the percentages to accompany Policy T3.
