The document relies upon the most recent definition of affordable housing taken from the July 2018 NPPF. However, the soon to be released Government White Paper is to introduce the concept of ‘First Homes’, which is due to replace ‘starter homes’, currently discussed within the NPPF’s definition of affordable housing. If this SPD is to have any sense of longevity, we suggest that it should include ‘First Homes’ as an accepted form of affordable housing.

It is considered that the draft SPD should be expanded to refer to the above-mentioned relevant sections of the NPPF and PPG in terms of the purposes and scope of an SPD. It is noted that the draft Developer Contributions SPD (also the subject of public consultation) references paragraphs 34, 56 and 57 of the NPPF which make clear that development should not be subject to such a scale of obligations and policy burdens that the viability of the scheme is threatened. It is considered a similar reference should be made in this Affordable Housing draft SPD.

Taylor Wimpey believes that there is considerable scope to refine the draft SPD in order to ensure that the Council's aspirations are met, without stifling development or compromising viability. These are set out in our attached representations and subsequent responses.

Northern Trust welcome the confirmation that the definition of affordable housing applied is as per that set out in the NPPF at Annex 2.
