SHMA states affordable housing need is 26.9% of proposed housing requirement.
50% affordable housing target therefore excessive.
Recent Housing White Paper confirms that starter homes will not be an additional requirement over and above the affordable homes requirements as currently suggested in DLP.
Viability caveat is welcome.
SMBC need to demonstrate viability of delivering all of policy objectives plus CIL before setting the affordable housing target.
