Early Advice Seeking on Affordable Housing Requirements
Applicants should seek information on affordable housing requirements from a RHA or other relevant operator prior to Pre-Application Discussion with the Council and before undertaking any design work, to understand the required mix and make proper financial provision.
Applicants are encouraged to seek information on the affordable housing requirement from a RHA or other relevant operator, prior to a Pre-Application Discussion (PAD) with the Council. Advice should be sought prior to any design work being undertaken on a scheme. This enables applicants to better understand and accommodate the mix of affordable housing required and to make proper financial provision for its delivery, before entering into financial or legal commitments for the site. RHAs can be contacted directly or through the Northern Ireland Federation of Housing Associations (NIFHA).
