1.0 Introduction One of Fife Council’s key objectives is to ensure that new housing development meets the needs of the whole community. This guidance aims to further this objective and will replace the first version which was approved in November 2005. It also incorporates the previously separate but associated Implementation Guide. The Council’s overall policy position on affordable housing is set out in the approved Fife Structure Plan (Appendix A) and in the 3 emerging Local Plans. This document provides detailed guidance to support these documents. It will be reviewed in time to reflect the emergence of the two Strategic Development Plans for Edinburgh (SESplan) and Dundee (TAYplan). This document will also reflect the priorities of the Fife Local Housing Strategy 2010-2015 (LHS). This guidance is intended to provide helpful advice for interested parties, including house builders, registered social landlords (RSLs), consultants, Tenants and Residents Associations and Community Councils. Co-operation between all parties concerned is absolutely crucial. Although this guidance is non-statutory, Fife Council will take it into account in making decisions relating to housing proposals. The planning system can make a contribution to the provision of affordable housing in areas of need, but cannot meet the need in entirety. This approach is based upon the concept of reduced land values and should not result in an increase in the final sale price of open market housing. 2.0 Consultation Following an 8 week period of public consultation held in the autumn of 2010, a total of 12 comments were received. Each individual comment was carefully assessed and taken into account in finalising the Guidance. Respondents fell into the following categories: Housebuilders 4 Individuals 2 Developers 1 Industry organisations 1 Elected Members 1 Registered Social Landlords 1 Community Councils 1 Educational Institutions 1 A Participation Statement summarising publicity measures that were undertaken, the representations received and the Council’s responses is publicly available. 5
