Policy P4A (Bullet Point 6):
The 2019 NPPF promotes affordable home ownership by requiring at least 10% of new dwellings built to be available for this tenure leaving only the remainder for other affordable housing tenures (para 64). The Council’s policy approach to affordable housing tenure set out in Bullet Point 6 is inconsistent with national policy. Furthermore, the Government’s consultation on Changes to the Current Planning System (ended on 1st October 2020) proposed further changes to deliver First Homes.
Policy P4A should be re-considered and modified by the Council. The Council’s policy approach to affordable housing tenure set out in Bullet Point 6 is inconsistent with national policy.
