Annual Monitoring Report 2007
4.56 The adopted Supplementary Planning Document on Affordable Housing (2006) has been
revised and a new SPD was adopted in September 2007. This aims to increase the number of
housing developments that will be expected to incorporate elements of affordable housing, and
increase the proportion of affordable housing to be negotiated on those sites. The revised SPD
now proposes the following thresholds and percentages as a basis for negotiation:
15+
No. of Dwellings
10-14
5-9

4.57 Where the percentage of affordable units would not give rise to an exact number of
dwellings, a financial contribution would be made to make up the remaining shortfall. For example
11 units at 40% would be 4.4 units, and the contribution would be 0.4 units, based on the
proportionate cost of providing the unit on site.
