One option for the requirement of affordable housing '...would be to lower the requirement to 30% given the current economic circumstances but to review this once the housing market were stronger..' This would be very difficult to administer in practice and would simply create a shortfall in affordable provision in the short term. There is no case for short-term change to the current accepted policy.
