The Council will only consider a different housing mix, where a developer demonstrates:
- that the proposal meets the tenure split requirements outlined in Policy DMH 1: affordable housing, and
- the applicant provides up-to-date evidence of housing needs by taking account of the Council’s latest local evidence identified by the LBBD Strategic Housing Market Assessment along with the local Housing Register.
