There is no fomally recognised definition of Affordable housing. SMBC have guidance making developers provide affordable housing on most new sites, but these homes are usually targeted towards Housing Associations and council housing waiting lists, there is no consideration towards provision of standard family housing for young families who are above the threshold criteria for HA affordable housing or entry onto council housing lists, they are a forgotten and under represented cohort that get overlooked.
