We support the SPD’s guidance on the integration of affordable housing whereby affordable housing is distributed across a site. However, the use of the term ‘pepper-potting’ is considered outdated and could be misinterpreted and over-rigorously applied. We agree with the SPD’s preferred stance that affordable housing should be delivered in small clusters. The Council should look at specifying what is meant by a “small cluster”. This could be expressed as a maximum group size or range. We commonly see that a group size of approximately 10-15 dwellings is most favoured by HAs.
