Representation Summary:

APPENDIX III - TIMESCALE FOR DELIVERY
The draft SPD sets out that a clause will be included within Section 106 agreements to manage the timescales for delivery of affordable housing alongside market housing. The timescales would require no more than 50% of the market dwellings to be occupied until 50% of the affordable houses are ready for occupation and that no more than 95% of the market dwellings are occupied until all the affordable houses are ready for occupation. There do not appear to be any provisions to deviate from this. The draft SPD and legal agreement clauses should provide site by site flexibility which enables factors, such as the scale of the site, to be taken into account.
