DMD 1 Affordable Housing on Sites Capable of Providing 10 Units or More

Development should provide the maximum amount of affordable housing, having regard to:

the borough-wide affordable housing target of 40%; and
the need to provide an appropriate mix of tenures to meet local housing need and reflect a borough wide target of 70% social rent and Affordable Rent; and 30% intermediate.

Any negotiations will take into account the specific nature of the site; development viability; the need to achieve more mixed and balanced communities; particular priority to secure affordable family homes which meet both local and strategic needs; available funding resources; and evidence on housing need.

Mixed tenure residential development proposals must be designed to be ‘tenure blind’, so that the scheme as a whole is well integrated, cohesive and complementary. Tenure should be spread throughout the development to prevent concentrations or clear distinctions.

This policy should be read in conjunction with Core Strategy policy 3.
