Intermediate housing for sale in private residential developments
Developers should consider including intermediate housing for sale (Subsidised Shared Ownership units offered by RHAs are preferred to DMS units) in private residential schemes to contribute to affordable housing provision.
Where residential units within a proposal are intended for private sale, consideration should be given to the inclusion of intermediate housing for sale as part of the development. In this regard, SSO units, offered a RHA are preferred to DMS units, given the regulation of RHAs afforded by DfC and the minimal impact SSO units are expected to have on overall scheme viability. See also the framework for the consideration of the most appropriate mix of affordable housing in Appendix 3.
