Policy ASW 15 – Affordable Housing

(a) Housing developments of 4 or more dwellings will be expected to provide a
minimum of 30% of affordable housing on the sire and it will be well integrated with
the market housing. In cases where the 30% calculation results in a part unit then
either the number of affordable units will be rounded up to the next whole unit or a
financial contribution towards off-site provision equivalent to providing 30% on-site
affordable housing provision.

(b) On housing developments of between 1 and 3 dwellings, and in other circumstances
where on-site provision is not practicable, a commuted payment towards off-site
provision in Ashurst Wood will be required, equivalent to providing 30% on-site
affordable housing provision.

Proposals for housing development that do not provide the required level of affordable
housing will be required to provide clear evidence to demonstrate the financial or other
reasons why the appropriate levels of affordable housing cannot be provided. Any such
proposals will be considered on their individual merits and against other policies in the Plan.
