Why is there a more generous % of affordable homes in the North of the District than the South? Housing in the South is very expensive and dominated by high value larger properties.
This is clearly an inadequate number of social and affordable rented properties that will not meet the need of 200pa as identified in the HEDNA 2022.
Of the annual figure of 535, 160 homes will be affordable. Of that 91 will be for social and affordable rent. This is less than half the number required. This policy will only serve to increase the gap between market housing and affordable and will result in fewer people being able to afford a home.
The tenure mix changed to allow for 200 affordable and social rented homes pa.
