P6 Purpose Built Shared Living
Development of purpose-built shared living must:
- Provide the maximum amount, with a minimum of 35% conventional affordable housing by habitable room subject to viability as per Policy P4, as a first priority. Where affordable housing cannot be provided on site a cash payment towards the delivery of new council homes will be required. The value of any contributions will be based on the cost of meeting an on site affordable housing requirement and should provide no financial benefit to the applicant.
- All purpose-built shared living schemes will require a viability appraisal to be submitted.
