Policy DM1(S) Affordable Housing
Policy DM1(S) sets out that at least 30% affordable housing is to be delivered where residential development proposals consist of 10 dwellings or more. The policy goes on to state that 25% of the total affordable housing requirement will need to be provided as First Homes.
At least 10% of total homes on developments sites should be available for affordable home ownership in accordance with Paragraph 65 of the Framework. This 10% requirement was first introduced in the 2018 Framework and included property tenure types such as Intermediate Shared Ownership.
Gladman can confirm that our site interests can accommodate this emerging policy requirement.
