  • The affordable housing component must be tenure blind i.e. of an equal quality in terms of its design and use of materials compared to the market element and it should be integrated into the overall proposal.
  • The size and mix of the housing units and the tenure of the affordable housing units must be consistent with the most up-todate District and local evidence of need.
  • Where there is an up to date evidenced need, the proposal should provide units suitable for senior residents.
