BHL5 Affordable Housing

New developments should provide affordable housing in accordance with the requirements of Core Strategy Policy CS2 (Improving Housing Quality and Choice), and Development Management Policy DM3 (Affordable Housing Provision.

The mix of affordable units in terms of size and tenure should be in accordance with the Development Management Policy DM5 (Housing Mix). The Council will prioritise shared ownership as its preferred intermediate product in Blackhorse Lane.

Financial contributions to off site affordable housing will only be accepted in exceptional circumstances, where it is not practical to provide affordable housing on site.
