Affordable Housing Provision Requirements
The Council requires residential development proposals in settlements to meet affordable housing provisions of Policy DM 17 and may zone land specifically for affordable housing.
The Council has taken account of the Housing Needs Assessment undertaken by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive which identifies the overall social housing need within our Borough. To assist in the delivery of affordable homes over the Plan period, the Council will require proposals for residential development in settlements to meet the provisions of Policy DM 17 and will also consider the need to zone land in the Local Policies Plan specifically for affordable housing.
