Policy H2 together with other policy requirements such as Policy CT5 (Infrastructure Contributions to Meeting Places, Cultural Facilities and Public Art), Policy CC3 (Building Standards Requirements), and Policy DM1 (Infrastructure Contributions) result in a level of financial contribution that render development unviable. Indeed, it is not justified by the LPA's own viability assessments, which demonstrate that no development was viable when providing 40% affordable housing.

The consultants, DTZ, who prepared the Council's Affordable Housing Viability Assessment suggest Warwick District Council consider producing a zoned affordable housing policy which has different affordable housing percentages by area. This recommendation should be considered by the Council.
