Re: Using the Duty of wellbeing to justify affordable housing on the greenb - Public forum - Planning Advisory Service (PAS)

To clarify, LAs don't have a general Duty of well-being; it's a power - the duty side of that is the Sustainable Community Strategy, to which exercise of the power, and indeed the LDF, should have regard. The well-being power guidance is at - http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/localgovernment/pdf/1148897.pdf . I suspect the answer that Eager is after is at para 93. As ever, take your own legal advice on individual uses of the power. Paul
