We query whether the evidence base supporting this policy and its requirements is robust, including around viability and deliverability. The Viability Study makes reference to P4d being included in Round 2 testing, but not P4e. This has the potential to undermine delivery of much needed housing and affordable housing. Whilst specialist housing may be appropriate on some sites, this should be tested. Additional sites to deliver this specific need may need to be explored if supported by evidence.
Revise policy, with reference to supporting evidence, to ensure deliverability of development sites is not affected by the requirements of the policy.
