Affordable housing thresholds

Affordable housing thresholds

We're trying to promote a single dwelling threshold in Richmondshire's Core Strategy and know this already applies in adopted plans in Shropshire, New Forest and South Hams. Harrogate, Selby and Scarborough in N Yorks are also progressing this threshold through their LDFs/SPDs. I'd be pleased to learn of any other adopted plans with this threshold.

Re: Affordable housing thresholds

Mole Valley District Council (Surrey) applies a single dwelling threshold in terms of a financial contribution towards the provision of affordable housing on sites of 1 - 9 gross units. Above this provision is required on-site at various percentages depending on the size of the development. The Core Strategy was adopted in Oct. 2009 and we have an affordable housing SPD adopted in Feb. 2010. Neighbouring authorities are taken a similar approach - Elmbridge BC for example.

Re: Affordable housing thresholds

Sevenoaks District Council require a financial contribution for developments of less than 5 units. It may be worth taking a look at out AH policy SP3 in our Core Strategy and the AH SPD for ideas. www.sevenoaks.gov.uk/ldf Happy to discuss.
