P-HP1 - Affordable Housing

Development proposals for affordable housing within the Puttenham Settlement Boundary as defined in the Guildford Borough Local Plan (or any replacement), or outside as a rural exception site, will be supported where:

the affordable homes will remain low-cost in perpetuity and will be secured for households with a local connection (as defined in the Puttenham and Wanborough Housing Society Scheme of Allocation as seen in the supporting text and, following that, should no tenant be found, the Guildford Borough Housing Allocation Scheme) with Puttenham parish through a Section 106 agreement.
it is demonstrated that there is a local affordable housing need and that the proposal is appropriate in terms of housing size and tenure, taking into account the latest available evidence including the Puttenham Parish Housing Needs Survey (2014) and/or the Borough Council Strategic Housing Market Assessment.
