It indicates the amount of such housing that will be required and the types of affordable housing that will be acceptable. Provision will primarily be required on-site as part of the wider development. However, it also gives guidance on the alternatives to on-site provision that could be appropriate, such as off-site provision, the refurbishment of defective housing, a financial contribution to the refurbishment of unfit housing and/or the reuse of vacant dwellings.
Further guidance is available on our requirements for affordable housing, updated regularly against housing needs and other evidence.
