Affordable housing statement
What is required?
A written statement including a site plan showing the number of residential units and the mix of housing type, for example, affordable housing, local needs housing and any market housing. For each unit, the number of bedrooms and the floor space of habitable areas should be given. If different levels or types of affordability or tenure are proposed for different units this should be clearly and fully explained. The affordable housing statement should also include details of the mechanism that will be used to secure affordability in perpetuity for local people at an affordable cost, for example, involving a registered social landlord such as a Housing Association or Trust.
