Additional Mechanisms for Local Affordability Hotspots
Where local affordability hotspots are identified through Housing Needs Assessment and delivery is problematic, additional mechanisms should be considered, including potential use of NIHE peripheral land within existing estates, provided this does not conflict with open space protections under PPS8.
Where a local affordability hot spot occurs, as identified by the HNA and meeting the affordable housing need within the immediate area presents a problem of delivery, a range of other additional mechanisms should also be considered. There may be opportunities for the consideration of NIHE owned land within existing estates, which is peripheral to the existing housing to be examined for affordable housing use. These however must not conflict with the provisions as set down in PPS8 - Open Space, Sport and Outdoor Recreation.
