Affordable housing planning requirements

Our Local Plan was adopted on 27 February 2025.

Policy H10 within our Local Plan sets out the Affordable Housing provision that will be required for all schemes of 5 units or more.

Policy H7: Off campus purpose built student housing identifies where a financial contribution towards affordable housing provision is required from student housing schemes.

You can view our latest Local Housing Needs Assessment (2022), which is our supporting evidence base to the policy approach.

Contact our Housing Strategy and Development Team if you would like to discuss these details any further after reviewing the relevant policies.

See also our Developer Contributions webpage for further information on other potential contributions and legal agreements.
