Paragraph 7.29 and Policy DM4 Conflict directly with the 2018 NPPF definition of affordable housing. The NPPF definition allows the building of various types of Affordable housing without them being "Registered Provider, Community Land Trust or other Approved Body". The conditions for affordable housing on exception sites is set out in the NPPF and CDC planning documents are obliged to follow National Policy and should be modified to reflect that. Rural Exception and Entry Level Exception sites are not required to be a "Registered Provider, Community Land Trust or other Approved Body" as this would preclude various types of housing that could not be provided under this obligation including build to rent, starter homes, discounted market sale housing, rent to buy, self build and so on which are all defined as affordable housing under the NPPF.
