• The delivery of affordable housing should be prioritised within the Plan, going further than the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) to support the provision of meaningfully affordable housing, including a significant proportion of social housing to improve affordability. At present many of the so-called affordable homes are “clearly unaffordable to those on mid to lower incomes.” Barton C and Wilson W, What is affordable housing?, Research Briefing, House of Commons Library, 19 April, 2021, available at https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-7747/ referencing the Affordable Housing Commission’s Making Housing Affordable Again: Rebalancing the Nation’s Housing System, 23 March 2020, available at: https://www.affordablehousingcommission.org/news/2020/3/23/making-housing-affordable-again-rebalancing-the-nations-housing-system-the-final-report-of-the-affordable-housing-commission [Both accessed 1 September 2021]
