Regional Development Strategy (RDS) 2035
The RDS recognises that affordable housing provision helps build strong communities and requires mixed housing development with homes in a range of sizes and tenures. Development plans must identify housing land to ensure adequate supply, including land for social and intermediate housing.
The Regional Development Strategy (RDS) recognises that the provision of more affordable housing helps to build strong and balanced communities and ensure an adequate and available supply of quality housing to meet the needs of everyone. Policy RG6 seeks to encourage mixed housing development, with neighbourhoods containing homes in a range of sizes and tenures, to facilitate stable communities and to reduce isolation, whilst RG8 requires the varied needs of the whole community to be met. Development plans are required to identify housing land to ensure an adequate supply, and to include land for social and intermediate housing.
