Integration of Affordable Housing Within Developments

Within mixed tenure developments, affordable housing should be distributed or 'pepper potted' throughout a development, rather than concentrated in a specific part of a site. It should be 'tenure blind' – i.e. indestinguisable from the general market housing in the development – to ensure it is well integrated within housing schemes. In the case of apartment buildings, some clustering of affordable units may be considered appropriate where 'pepper-potting' would lead to less efficient management arrangements.
