DM Policy 7 Affordable rented housing

The Council will require new residential development to provide on site affordable housing in accordance with Core Strategy Policy 1.

When considering the affordable housing mix, the Council will maximise affordable housing output on a case by case basis by making the best use of available resources and taking account of other relevant factors including viability, the need to address strategic as well as local need and ensuring that homes remain affordable for people on low incomes.

When providing affordable rented housing, priority will be given to delivering family homes (3 or more bedrooms).
