Developer actions for affordable housing proposals

• Discuss the proposed mix of tenure, size and type of affordable housing, as necessary, with a RHA at an early stage. NIHE will advise the RHA and/or the Council regarding need and demand for affordable housing on the site. • Complete the Affordable Housing Proposal Form set out at Appendix 1, which will include the total number of dwellings proposed on the site, the number of affordable housing units and a breakdown of the tenure and type of housing proposed. This should be submitted to the Council to help inform discussions with the Council as part of a PAD or planning application process. • It is strongly recommended that you arrange a PAD with the Council to discuss the proposed scheme. Where necessary, NIHE may be invited to participate in PAD discussions regarding affordable housing obligations in respect of tenure, type and size of affordable units required. • The PAD meeting(s) should establish how the required affordable housing requirement is intended to be delivered and thereby assist in streamlining the process of assessing and determining the planning application. The Affordable Housing Proposal Form should be amended, where required, to reflect up to date discussions and should be submitted as part of the planning application.
