Assessment criteria for off-site delivery

The onus will be on the applicant to establish a case for off-site delivery. When considering the appropriateness of an off-site arrangement, the Council will assess the main application site against the following criteria: • Existing, site-specific physical constraints, including any heritage assets, may limit delivery of affordable housing on the main application site; • The built-form of the proposed development on the main site does not align with prevailing housing need; • Likelihood of unaffordable service charges arising from the nature of the proposed development; • Whether the identified local housing need can be better met off-site (e.g. family housing); and • The relationship between the donor site and the main application site.
