Strongly support delivery of affordable housing as part of residential developments. However, a number of concerns over the detail (or lack of) contained
within Policy P4A which are considered unsound as drafted.
Part 2
This part of the policy states that the definition of ‘affordable’ will be set out in a Meeting Housing Needs Supplementary Planning Document (SPD), which will be
updated periodically to ensure it is up to date. While in principle this is accepted, due to the significant viability implications affordable housing can have on a
development, the SPD should be made available now or the contents of the document included in the Local Plan and available for review/comment. It is not a
sound approach to not publish a fundamental part of the evidence base prior to the submission and adoption of the Local Plan.
