The flexible wording of the policy, including references to viability, is welcomed. However, it is recommended that further flexibility is built in the policy to account for any further changes which the Government may make (for example in relation to ‘first homes’).
It should be noted that the sheer scale of the affordable housing need highlights the duty of Solihull in needing to deliver additional housing over and above the standard method baseline and the requirement currently being proposed.
Amend paragraph 1 to state that affordable housing is defined by national policy. Including a current list in the policy itself could render the policy out of date if the national definition changes.
