We acknowledge the need for some affordable housing within Solihull. However affordable housing (as defined in the SPD) in its current form is not a sustainable approach, i.e. market rates will prevail after the first occupant resulting in further need in future years.
We need some affordable housing but providing a mix of housing that addresses the needs of a wider profile of household types, would encourage better rotation of starter homes and houses suitable for families. The policy should ensure affordable housing remains affordable.
