Support in principle provision of affordable housing by developers.
As someone who used to take these allocations for an RSL I would suggest the targets were more flexible i.e. bedspaces not homes. Developers meet targets offering small flats, when RSL's need larger homes for families or even elderly accomdation to release under-occupied homes.
Provision needs to be assessed on a site by site basis.
