Phased Development and Affordable Housing Delivery

Sites can however be phased in a manner which meets the affordable housing requirements. Where a phased approach is advocated, this should be discussed with the Council from the outset to ensure that the affordable housing requirement can be delivered over the whole scheme, in a timely fashion. For large scale developments, where completion is to be expected over a significant number of years, it may be appropriate to include a review mechanism with a Section 76 agreement, which allows the parties to keep the delivery of affordable housing in the later stages of development under review.
