Summary The content of this policy is noted and clarification is sought regarding the application of this policy on jointly owned sites between Government bodies and
private landowners. It would appear unfair for such sites to be required to provide higher levels of affordable housing when such a policy would not be applied
if the site was wholly privately owned.
Change Sought: Clarification is sought regarding the application of this policy on sites jointly owned between Government bodies and private landowners.

Summary In our view the level of AHLN should be considered on the indiviual merits of the site based upon viability and national policy and the circumstances of each
site. It is inappropriate to seek to impose a higher level merely beacuse the site is in a particular ownership, such an approach would distort the property
market.
Change Sought: The policy is unsound it should be omitted

Summary It is not clear whether land owned by health boards falls within the Council's definition of 'Government', however, for the avoidance of doubt National guidance
already covers this issue in circular WHC(2007)88 - Provision of NHS Land for Affordable Housing. Insofar as this Poilcy is intended to relate to NHS land,
then it should be drafted in a fasion which is consistent with this circular guidance, however it is suggested that this is unncessary and instead the Policy
should make clear that it is not intended to relate to NHS land.
Change Sought: The Policy should make clear that it is not intended to relate to NHS land.
