Housing land supply and affordable housing

The LDP will provide a sufficient supply of land for housing using the Housing Growth Indicator from the Regional Development Strategy, encourage affordable housing delivery, and ensure diverse housing choice for an ageing population.

The provision of a sufficient supply of land for housing is a core component of the LDP. There is currently an ample supply of land already identified in existing development plans, and future growth will need to take account of the Housing Growth Indicator for our Borough set out in the Regional Development Strategy. The LDP will also seek to encourage the delivery of affordable housing opportunities to help meet local needs, and ensure a diverse choice of housing for an ageing and changing population.
