H6 – Affordable Housing

Proposals for major housing developments are expected to provide 40% of affordable housing subject to viability until such time as a new St Albans Local Plan is adopted with a revised target for affordable housing.

On all such schemes, affordable housing will be provided on-site as part of the residential development and will be fully integrated within it, other than in exceptional circumstances. Affordable housing should be provided as both socially rented and intermediate housing in line with the latest assessment of needs undertaken by St Albans City and District Council or a future St Albans Local Plan target.
