Delivery of affordable housing through development requirements

In order to facilitate the delivery of affordable housing units within the Borough the Plan includes a detailed management policy which seeks to increase the supply of affordable housing through the requirement for all housing schemes over a certain threshold to deliver a percentage of the site as affordable housing. This policy may also be supported by the zoning of land specifically for affordable housing and/or the attachment of Key Site Requirements to general housing zonings for a percentage of the site to be provided as affordable housing in the Local Policies Plan.
