The Viability Assessment notes “specialist older people’s housing is unlikely to be able to bear affordable housing.” Given that the heading included both sheltered and extra care housing it is therefore unclear as to whether the conclusion is a broad bush assessment or related more to the extra care element. There is no subsequent clarification provided in the policy wording of this matter and whether therefore C2 housing as extra care should be exempt or not from affordable housing.
There are also concerns over the approach for PDL sites.
