I broadly support your policy, but would add the following. You say: The Borough definition of 'affordable' is set out in a Meeting Housing Needs Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). Without searching around for this document, I would just like to comment that a definition of affordable that I as a pensioner would find useful would include the limit of 100sq m, either all on one level, or at most two (a 10m x 5m two storey block) + garaging and small garden. There must be widely available designs for this kind of space provision. Provision could be strictly monitored.
