The Consortium is aware that affordable housing is in short supply in Warwick. Affordable housing targets need to be based on a robust evidence base.

The 50% proposed target is too high and we believe that a 'one target fits all' approach may affect the viability of many development schemes.

The Consortium believes that in line with PPS3, the affordable housing targets once established should be seen as overall targets throughout the Plan period; the requirement for affordable housing within individual schemes should however be assessed against viability tests, market conditions and tenure mix at the time of development.
