Appendix 1Policy Context1. Government GuidancePlanning Policy Statement 31.1Planning Policy Statement 3: Housing was published in December 2006 andreplaces both PPG3 and Circular 6/98. One of the key objectives outlined by theGovernment in PPS3 is to deliver a better balance between housing demand andsupply in every housing market and to improve affordability where necessary. Itdefines affordable housing as including social-rented and intermediate housing,but specifically excludes low cost market housing.1.2PPS3 has introduced a national indicative minimum site-size threshold of 15dwellings. It also introduces more flexibility in the setting of minimum site-sizethresholds above which affordable housing will be sought. Local PlanningAuthorities may depart from the indicative minimum threshold of 15 dwellingswhere it can be justified, taking into account the level of affordable housing tobe sought, site viability, the impact on the delivery of housing provision and theobjective of creating mixed and sustainable communities.1.3PPS3 also includes a rural exception site policy to enable local planningauthorities to allocate or release small sites within and adjoining existing smallrural communities which may be subject to policies of restraint and would not bereleased for market housing. It confirms that rural exception sites should only bereleased for affordable housing secured as such in perpetuity.1.4The government have also produced accompanying guidance on ‘DeliveringAffordable Housing’ which outlines the policy challenges and delivery mechanismsavailable. An additional note on identifying sub-regional housing market areas isdue to be published.2.

Policy H4 requires the provisionof a range of dwelling types and sizes, including affordable housing, to meet locallyassessed need.Supplementary Planning Document Page 19
