Draft Affordable Housing Viability Study
As recommended by Planning Policy Statement 3:Housing, the
Council has employed Consultants to undertake a Affordable Housing
Viability Study (AHVS), which it did so further to the Strategic
Housing Market Assessment.
Affordable Housing Viability Studies inform preparation of Local
Development Frameworks (LDF). Guidance requires Councils to set a
'plan wide' affordable housing target, and to test this for
'deliverability' by means of the 'economic viability of land for
housing within the area'.
The report is currently in draft format but it will inform the
borough’s policies for affordable housing in the Core Strategy.
Comments on the draft Study are sought up to 23 September 2009.
