We have a brownfield redevelopment proposal where the floorspace is such that Vacant Building Credit removes the requirement for any affordable housing. NPPF para 63 mentions the affordable housing requirement being "reduced by a proportionate amount".
But NPPF para 64 asks for 10% of the homes to be available for affordable home ownership. The paragraph lists four exemptions, none of which refer to VBC.
I can't see any guidance in PPG on this scenario.
Which takes precedence - NPPF 63 or 64? Viability usually trumps affordable housing, but VBC is not all about viability...
